...says. For years, she was repeatedly cast in German films more or less as Shirley Tempelhof, the cardboard princess. Determinedly, she has changed all that. Last week in London, dressed in tights and high black stockings, she began work in Carl Foreman's The Victors as a cabaret violinist turned whore, playfully kicking up her heels and pulling her tights smooth over her alert backside. Spurred by competition, she may create the greatest whore since the fall of the Ptolomies. Mercouri and Moreau are in The Victors as well...

The Crystal Palace, a cabaret theater, presents big-name entertainment and imported repertory players in nightly revues. Last year it grossed nearly...

Then the latter took on a different look as proprietors required customers to wear coats and ties. Says one cabaret owner: "We give a buck's worth of booze for a buck.
