John Bull's Other Island (by Bernard Shaw; produced by Richard Aldrich & Richard Myers, in association with Brian Doherty) gave Broadway its first view of Dublin's Gate Theatre. Founded 20 years ago by Actors Hilton Edwards and Micheal MacLiammóir, who are still its heads and headliners, the Gate has grown more popular in Dublin as the once-great Abbey Theatre has grown less so. Though in Manhattan it will offer only Irish plays, in Dublin (unlike the Abbey) it features foreign ones; it has produced the works of O'Neill, Maxwell Anderson, Kaufman & Hart...

Robbed: Sari Gabor ("Zsazsa") Hilton, emerald-eyed, diamond-bright Miss Hungary of 1936, estranged wife of Hotelman Conrad Hilton (New York's Plaza, Los Angeles' Town House, Chicago's Palmer House); in the mirrored boudoir of her Manhattan penthouse. Jewel-&-fur-bearing Mrs. Hilton (who once told tabloid reporters that unidentified villains had kept her in "continuous slumber" for six months with mysterious drugs) now reported to police that a tall stranger in a grey suit, fedora, pigskin gloves and dark glasses had tied her and her maid to a love seat and made off with...
