...Frank Sinatra and Shirley MacLaine. Shirley had barely started the welcome speech she had learned in Russian before she became annoyed by the noises of the scene shifters. She said to them: "Could you do this later because this is awfully important to me?" And she said to Khrushchev & Co.: "I do hope you'll enjoy these parts of our picture Can-Can because we very much enjoy the Soviet artists you have sent to this country." After Frank introduced the song Live and Let Live, he said to Khrushchev: "It's a marvelous idea...
...Lake Maracaibo last week, ground was broken for a new, $3,000,000 flour mill. Most of the Venezuelans who watched would have needed only one guess, if they did not know already, at the name of the man responsible for building the mill (jointly with Minneapolis' Pillsbury Co.). He is Eugenio Mendoza Goiticoa, 52, a ranking example of the new, still small and largely unsung breed of Latin American industrialists who believe not only in good profit, but in productive private industry, well-treated, self-respecting labor, and-even more notable-in philanthropy...
Robbins' young troupe (average age: 24) reached London midway in a four-month State Department-sponsored tour of Europe and Israel; so far, the troupe has attracted capacity crowds everywhere from Salzburg to Athens. Fortnight ago, performing without costumes or sets (lost in a plane crash), Robbins & Co. proved to be the hit of the Edinburgh Festival. Most of the program at both Edinburgh and London's Piccadilly Theatre was originally devised for last year's Spoleto Festival. Included last week were N.Y. Export, Op. Jazz, a deadpan exercise in which knees break, shoulders shrug...
...Virgin with St. Magdalen and St. Lucy that he had it stolen from the church of Albinea, and it has never been found. In 1876, Gainsborough's portrait of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire vanished from the sales rooms of London's famed art dealers Agnew & Co., was returned for reward 25 years later by a onetime Chicago gambler. Even the Toronto Art Gallery has had its share of thefts. A small Rouault (The Surgeon) vanished from its walls in 1955 and is still missing. The same Rubens that is now at large was also stolen five years...
Grey Market. Across the nation last week as manufacturers scrambled for steel, there was a growing grey market, with prices of some steels up to $250 a ton, almost double the list price. Layoffs caused by lack of steel continued to mount. General Electric Co. began laying off 1,400 workers in its heavy appliance manufacturing center at Louisville, said it will have to close down its entire operation employing 11,000 unless the steel strike ends within three weeks. Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. last week laid off 521 workers at two Midwestern plants, will drop 1,200 more...
