Thus, in the late '20s, Britain's A. P. Herbert, wit, poet and longtime M.P. (see PERSONALITY), assessed the future of a blonde, green-eyed London chorus girl in a little verse titled The Third from the Right. Last week, a quarter-century later, Hollywood Columnist Sheilah Graham, although she long ago refused the titled suitor, found herself still in Spot No. 3.
