TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES (NBC, 9-11 p.m.). Little Boy Lost (Paramount 1953), with Bing Crosby and Claude Dauphin in a story about an American newsman searching Paris for the son he lost during World War II. Color...

His granddaughters, romanticizing Audubon's own embellished accounts, implied that he might have been France's "lost Dauphin"-the son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, whom she tried to smuggle out of France just before she died on the guillotine.

Among the foreign dignitaries he welcomed in Italy: France's Charles de Gaulle, in 1959. Invited to the U.S. in 1960 to receive, along with Dwight...
