...continuity to provide flavorful exterior background to the otherwise indoor London setting of Terence Rattigan's story about an American girl and a Carpathian prince. With a big straw hat over her blonde hair, her clothing a rag sonata of browns and purples, her feet, encased in high button shoes, kicking up to show legs that would flatter a Tottenham Court soccer player, she belts out a medley of Noel Coward cockney songs-London Is a Little Bit of All Right, Saturday Night at the Rose and Crown-that ring all the bells of Shoreditch...
Ladybug Ladybug. May 32, 1964. Russia and the U.S. stand eye to eye, missile to missile. In a small American town, a secretary sits in the office of an elementary school and wonders nervously what millions of ordinary people are wondering that day: Will some madman push the panic button?

But the pace setters will be more likely to show up in the strapless, wrapped-towel look-the suit that seems about to fall off any minute, but is so cleverly architected within as to be all but surf-proof. In materials, the newest notions seem to be the least aquatic: white kid, velvet, wool and suede...
...still active bald eagle of Broadway, published Mister Abbott, an account of his own life-all 76 years of it. Since he has been director, producer, writer, actor or plastic surgeon for 103 Broadway shows of all types except the intellectual-Twentieth Century, Room Service, Pal Joey, High Button Shoes, Where's Charley?, Call Me Madam, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Wonderful Town, Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Fiorello!, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Never Too Late-it might have been expected that his book would contain a profusion of insights and smoky anecdotes...
