...belting power. "My, I'm a loud lady," she says, striking the well-known hands-on-hips pose. "No crooner, I." Next is Almost Like Being in Love. Then The Trolley Song, and by now the fans are clanging time with their feet. For Me and My Gal turns into a community sing. She wonders: "What should I do now?" Man in the mezzanine: "Just stand there." Judy: "I get too scared to just stand there?guess I'd better sing." On to more oldies like Swanee. A standing ovation for Old Man River. She sits down, her legs dangling...
...Kelly is going like sixty. It has been 25 years since he first whirled across the screen with Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal, and now he is Hollywood's busiest (and only) sextuple threat-dancer, actor, singer, choreographer, producer, director.

Soon Sunday supplements, weeklies, even the prestige business magazines were weighing in with more talk about "the most talked-about agency." Last August Syndicated Fashion Columnist Eugenia Sheppard went so far as to coo that Mary Wells's "soft, thrilling voice makes the maddest ideas seem perfectly possible"-extravagant praise, since at the time W.R.G. had just begun to produce its first...
Shades of Poppaea. Health officials in Indiana made the bizarre complaint that rivers were suffering from milk pollution. In Daleville, Ind., two women frolicked for photographers in 400-gal. milk baths-a higher-cholesterol ablution than anyone has enjoyed since Nero's wife, Poppaea, took a daily dip in asses' milk. In several towns, striking N.F.O. farmers bought up milk in stores, dumped it along with their...
