DIED. Virginia Fox Zanuck, 83, once Buster Keaton's leading lady, Mack Sennett's tiniest bathing beauty, and in 1924 Movie Tycoon Darryl F. Zanuck's storybook bride (although they did not live happily ever after); of a lung infection; in Santa Monica, Calif. The petite (4 ft. 9 in.)

Keith Rogal portrays Dr. Rance with a maniacal energy, but lets loose in the final scene. Ted Chandler's Nicholas Beckett is flat at first, seemingly bored with the placidity of his first appearance in contrast to his later shenanigans.
