...sound of his own voice. And George Rose's First Gravedigger is a roguish, low-comic word prankster. But Alfred Drake's King Claudius is too suavely ingratiating to have killed a brother and seized a crown. He is more like mine host of the Elsinore Hilton. Eileen Her-lie is a middle-aged matron with diction; it is easier to imagine her at bridge than in the "rank sweat of an enseamed bed." The saddest thing about Linda Marsh's Ophelia is how far beyond her grasp the part...
UNLIKE larger Hilton and Sheraton, third-ranking Western International Hotels Corp. carefully avoids the look and name of a chain in its 42 hotels; it prefers to let such homey hospices as San Francisco's St. Francis, Seattle's Olympic and the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs breathe with individual atmosphere.

By 2:20 that afternoon, here came the bride, all dressed in yellow chiffon, topped by a nuptial hairdo that featured a 34-in., hyacinth-entwined coil...
Divorced. By Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher, 32: Edwin Jack Fisher, 35; on grounds of abandonment, cruelty and inhuman treatment; after almost five years of legal marriage, no children; in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was, as they say, a Mexican standoff, Eddie being in Puerto Rico while Liz was in Toronto with the leading candidate to stretch her name by six more letters; but Liz did not have to be there in person, and when no one showed up from Eddie's side during the 21-day waiting period, Liz's lawyers won the award "by default...
