...Harold Ross of The New Yorker. His "mental cruelty," charged Mrs. Ross, who graduated from college a Phi Beta Kappa at 17, took several turns.

Allen's rise to TV stardom has been rapid. Until one year ago he was best known as a disc jockey in Los Angeles. There he built up a faithful following for his midnight radio show and, by popular demand, dispensed more chatter than records. His fans included workers in Hollywood's film industry, and, because of comments from them (Groucho Marx: "the freshest and most promising thing I've seen in radio in a long time"), CBS began to take notice...
