Show business is the common-and uncommonly interesting-denominator of the immortal and the merely diverting, the sublime and the corny, the Greek amphitheater and the burlesque runway. It includes Bernard Shaw and the TV gag writer, Laurence Olivier and the Las Vegas chorus girl -as well as their audiences. TIME'S new section will report "Show Biz" in all its phases.

Her conversation and accent, a mixture of her own flower-girl experience and the teaching of Professor Higgins, carried the one-sided conversation to a hilarious and colorful climax.
