...that really is the spirit of Liz Coe's new play, albeit transposed into the desperately dramatic world of show biz, and the cosy arena of Agassiz Theater. Hopefully it's not once in a lifetime, but it's certainly the first time in a long time that a Radcliffe undergraduate playwright has had access to a stage this big. Radcliffe Grant-in-aid and Adams House Drama Society are sponsors; the show premieres tonight...
STANLEY KUBRICK is a more lamentable and interesting case. Throughout his career, he has circumvented the show-biz celebrity that a Bogdanovich begs for. From his early experimental failures through his experimental success--2001--he has clung to his artistic ideals, making relevant and innovative films, while commanding big-studio budgets.

While looking for work, Liza stayed with a friend of her mother's, then moved into a hotel for women, only to be thrown out and have her clothes confiscated when she could not pay the bill. Neither parent could be found for help, and she spent one night on the steps of the fountain in front of the Plaza Hotel, another in Central Park. Luckily, she was cast in an off-Broadway revival of Best Foot Forward. The salary, $34 a week...
Ruby Keeler may have once gone out there a nobody but yesterday she came back a star as the Hasty Pudding Theatricals named her their 21st woman of the year, alongside such other show biz luminaries as Gertrude Lawrence, Katherine Hepburn, Mamie Eisenhower and Piper Laurie...
