...sign that the end was near. Before the week was out the 76-year-old Bey, whose family has ruled Tunisia for 250 years, was unceremoniously toppled from his throne, and the throne itself (both as an institution and a piece of furniture) was tossed on the scrap heap of history...
HOLLYWOOD stars are never mere ly "born"- and rarely stay bearable. Even with such uncommon clay as beautiful, white-blonde Kim Novak, 24, now the nation's No. 1 box-office attraction, it took a heap of studio craft to make a star. ("If you wanna bring me your wife or your aunt," says Starmaker Harry Conn, "we'll do the same for them.")

There is undeniably something...

Coolidge's Mare Imbrium, despite its inclusion in the anti-dull Audience, is dull. At the bottom of the heap, however, is Richard Eberhart's rather heavily-scented war-drama "I see a man in blue denim walking walking Through the halls of conscientious objection...." Here, at least, Audience seems not to be holding true to its announced intention...
