...audience knows that Bob Preston is the hottest performer on Broadway. Gliding tirelessly through scene after scene, he sings in an unpretentious, mellow baritone, turns Seventy-Six Trombones into as rapturous a piece of high-stepping bravura as ever brought down a house. His portrayal of a likable cad is a fine job of acting, but he does more than act and sing. He kicks a mean one-step, dances the Castle Walk. And in an inspired number that has already made Choreographer Onna White a big name on Broadway, he joins the dancing company in a softshoe, tippy...

"That smile," one executive shuddered. "It doesn't arouse the cad in a man. It brings out the uncle." And another thing: Maria's earthy body makes a startling contrast to her heavenly face. From her father's side of the family she has inherited the chunky frame of a Swiss farm girl, with heavy hips and strapping thighs. Richard...
...fancy: Iris, the story of an eligible spinster, aged 31, who refused to rush things with her undependable steady (Ray Montgomery). "Like a cake in the oven," she tells him, "you open the door too soon, you ruin it." In the end, though, Iris bravely chucked the cad when she realized he was not returning her love, only her kisses, and, with what the script called "a fine, quiet steadiness," was called upon to sigh courageously: "I am born again." Though Iris was the kind of frothy pink lady that TV shakes up every day, Margaret gave it the sort...
