Married. Prince Charles of Luxembourg, 39, younger brother of reigning Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg; and Joan Douglas Dillon, 32, daughter of Investment Banker C. Douglas Dillon, onetime U.S. Secretary of the Treasury; she for the second time; in Guildford, England...
...lions is decapitated by one of the characters in a fit of rage. Colonial cafard-suffocating apathy-has set in. Nevertheless, Archie keeps up the forms of the sahib-settler's life. It is a gruesome parody of colonial ritual. There is tennis every afternoon with his daughter, after which they sit for the "sundowner" before dinner, served by a "boy" in a sashed uniform.

The King is trying to auction off his daughter, Atalanta (George Denny), to any one of a number of suitors, and right now the smart money's on a wealthy young Spartan, Hippomenes (Rich Hammond), who's so good looking that even the Vestals paw his tunic...
