But Fein, slender, bespectacled and Milquetoast-mild in appearance, frittered away a small fortune on a pair of extracurricular pursuits-gambling and Gloria Kendal.

...GLORIA GOVRIN, 21, has been in tutus since she could walk. As a Newark schoolgirl, she haunted the backstage of the New York City Ballet collecting autographs. Now she is a veteran soloist, a fine comedienne in Stars and Stripes and Western Symphony. Her role as Queen of the Amazons in Midsummer Night's Dream was type casting; she is the tallest (5 ft. 7½ in.) girl in the troupe.
