Dancers swung and swayed with Sammy Kaye on the Astor roof and shirt-sleeved crowds jostled up and down Times Square one hot, sticky night last week as 2,000 men and women filed off Broadway and into the Astor's grand ballroom to pay homage to Roy Cohn. Except for Indian Charlie and Private Dave Schine (on duty at Camp Gordon, Ga.), nearly everyone in the McCarthy crowd was there. New York had probably not seen such a display of sentiment since Lou Gehrig said farewell at Yankee Stadium...
...Newport, the weathering old mansions of the rich still brood by the sea, and outsiders half expect to meet ladies in ankle-dusting tennis skirts escorted by blades in gaily banded boaters. But last week Newport's narrow streets were thronged with loud-shirted bookie types from Broadway, young intellectuals in need of haircuts, crew-cut Ivy Leaguers, sailors, Harlem girls with extravagant hairdos and high-school girls in shorts.

...Pictures Living It Up (Paramount) is a screen version of Hazel Flagg, the Broadway musical, which was in turn a retuning of filmdom's famous Bronx cheer for Manhattan, Nothing Sacred (1937) Jerry Lewis now plays Carole Lombard's movie part. Alas, Carole was prettier. She was also funnier. And Janet Leigh, playing the old Fredric March part, adds body to the fun but no flavor. Somewhere along the production line the rasp has been strained out of the raspberry, but what's left is still the pleasantest session with Jerry Lewis and Partner Dean Martin...
