...Paris opened with a ballyhooed two-hour revue featuring Stripper Britton and starring Shouter Betty Hutton. Boniface Walters (who ran Manhattan's Latin Quarter for years) paid $22,500 a week just for Singer Hutton. For such a blue chip outlay, he needed two full houses every week night and three on weekends, with every one of the 1,000 seats returning as much as $30. The first week he grossed $70,000 and lost $10,000. Says he: "If I'd paid Hutton a normal salary, I could have made $10,000 instead...
Married. Marjorie Merriweather Post Close Hutton Davies, 71, Washington hostess, Post Toasties heiress worth nearly $100 million, who in 1937 went to Moscow as the wife of the late (TIME, May 19) Joseph E. Davies, then U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, where she lavishly displayed the graces of capitalism to admiring comrades; and suave, silver-haired Herbert A.

After Post died in 1914, the company went on a stock-swapping spree. Led by President Colby Chester and Chairman E. F. Hutton (who married Post's famed daughter Marjorie and is still a partner in the Wall Street brokerage firm carrying his name), the company from 1925 to 1929 picked up many of the best-known U.S. food processors. Among them: Baker's chocolate, founded in 1765, which Postum got for $9,000,000 in stock; Maxwell House (for $46 million); Jell-O ($44 million); Birds Eye ($22 million); Swans Down ($7.4 million); also Minute Tapioca...
...Gioconda Smile, Huxley's most famous story, is the best. His hero, Mr. Hutton, is clever, covered in tweed and money troubles, able to explain everything about everything except his own sex life. Sex, typically, is represented by Doris, a lower-class ball of margarine-and-fun; also typically, the hero's wife is a virtuous bore with a distressing number of ailments. Huxley writes of women with the ruminative repulsion of a male spider half-digested in mid-honeymoon. When Mrs. Hutton is poisoned, it looks like Hutton's work. Actually another Huxley horror woman...
...care what I say to the press," Five & Dime Heiress Barbara Hutton, 45, said to the press as she disembarked in Manhattan. "You used to frighten me. I used to shiver and shake . . . and usually I would say the wrong thing." Unwittingly illustrating her point, she added: "It's most unfortunate that I can't travel with an enchanting young man without all this talk starting!" The enchanting young man: sleek, suave Philip Van Rensselaer, 30, a onetime Manhattan model, aspiring novelist, unwealthy descendant of an old New Amsterdam family. Bolstering reports that the pair have spent...
