Theatrical Master-of-all-Trades Noel Coward sighted Cinemactress Jean (Desirée) Simmons at a cocktail-drenched Hollywood party in his honor, affectionately gave her a platonic squeeze. This week Coward will begin a month's run in a Las Vegas pleasure dome at a reported $40,000 a week (a figure which probably, like many in the Nevada resort, is not entirely real).

Noel Coward's witty, fast-moving script was well-directed by Wink Neilson; and Barbara Bisco, Tina Cowley, Jim Rieger, Alison Mumford and Nick Strater all turned in well above average performances. Miss Mumford's transformation from a dignified British matron into a dog was the high point of the evening, and the quick exchange of patter among the members of her household never ceased to be amusing.
