So when Liza Minnelli, 19, her husband Vincente's daughter by his marriage to Judy Garland, opened at the Persian Room of Manhattan's Plaza Hotel there was Denise with a lustily applauding troop of 85 show-biz and cafesociety friends. Not that the gal who knocked them dead in Flora the Red Menace needed a private cheering section. After a dozen or so songs, that old belter Ethel Merman rushed over to embrace Liza.

Production by Westinghouse consists of 14 units, seven locations and 5,500,000 gal...

"Until recently," says a staffer, "they just wouldn't have done that. They'd have simply grabbed some gal on the staff, on the theory that girls probably know about music, and moved her in there."
