Fox's Spyros P. Kouras, flying off to scout the 3-D foreign field, predicted that by next October some 2,500 theaters across the country will be equipped for Cinemascope...
...often tease Kate by telling off-color stories or pretending to an excessive thirst for alcohol. Finally Kate told them airily: "You boys think you're awfully wicked, don't you? Why, you don't know what the word 'wicked' means." That settled their hash. Says Bogart, still brooding over it: "Now what the hell she meant by that, I don't know...
