Slimmed down after a nine-week diet of "baked beans, canned asparagus and Scotch whisky" while filming The African Queen in the Belgian Congo, Cinemactor Humphrey Bogart, with his wife Lauren Bacall and 2½-year-old son Stephen, arrived in Manhattan. Said Bogie: "Africa is a good place to stay away from, but I suppose that statement will burn up all the Africans." Before leaving for Hollywood, he went to a ball game, where he met another baseball fan, Douglas MacArthur. The dialogue, said Bogart, went something like this: "The general said: 'Hear you had a pretty rough...

London reporters jumped at the chance to interview Hollywood Director John Huston, his stars Humphrey Bogart (with wife Lauren Bacall "going along for the ride") and Katharine Hepburn, all on their way to Tanganyika to film C. S. Forester's The African Queen. As the crowd met for noon cocktails and questions, Miss Hepburn jumped at the chance to get off some inside comments (which saw solemn print next day).
