From the Lake Erie shore east of Toledo rose a droning peep-pop of small arms. Occasionally, the peepers' chorus was lost in the bullfrog boom of a heavy Army artillery piece sullenly bellowing from a nearby ordnance depot. Then, for nearly a mile along the lake front, the small-arms drone, insistent and incessant, was heard again. Last week, with something of the sound of mock war, the National Rifle and Pistol Matches were in full crackle at Ohio's Camp Perry. More than 1,300 sharpshooters, the deadliest of U.S. deadeyes, plunked slug after slug through...
...London chorus girl, she had wangled some bit parts in British movies, e.g., the cigarette girl in the opening scene of Alec Guinness' Lavender Hill Mob. Then a Paramount scout in London spotted her. One picture, called Monte Carlo Baby, called for location shots in Monaco's Hotel de Paris. Just as Audrey stepped into the rays of the klieg lights in the lobby to run through her brief scene as a honeymooning bride, the door swung open and in rolled an old lady in a wheelchair.

From all over the U.S., some 3,000 Baptist Sunday-school teachers converged on Glorieta for seminars and steak fries, lectures and horseback riding, hiking and hymn-sings. It was their first glimpse of the camp, which, when it is finished...
...dialogue as "Coupons-that's almost like money," as if she were in the throes of a grand passion. As Lorelei's chaperone, who wants her to go off the gold standard, Jane Russell does a frenetic, blond-wigged imitation of Marilyn and, surrounded by a beefcake chorus of athletes, sings Anyone Here for Love? in fine deadpan style. Sample dialogue: First Athlete: "If the ship hits an iceberg and sinks, which girl would you save from drowning?" Second Athlete with a smirk: "Those girls couldn't drown...
