...sphinx-faced Columnist and TV Impresario Ed Sullivan, 59-recovering at St. Mary's hospital in Rochester, Minn., from an operation that parted him from an inflamed gall bladder; Bestselling Novelist (Ship of Fools) Katherine Anne Porter, 72, who tripped down a dark flight of stairs in her Washington, D.C., home while calling for a kitten, cracking six ribs; and broad-toothed Comedian Joe E. Brown, 70, in Pittsburgh, Pa., melted by 90° heat while playing the Allegheny County Fair...
...with trumpets, the march into town. Under the covering fire of telegrams, Zanuck arrived in New York last week, and three days later he was president of 20th Century-Fox.

The fact that Liz Taylor's take from Cleopatra will exceed $1,300,000 brought a bitter joke; a furious stockholder nominated her for the board of directors...
...finally clear of flying dancers, the audience rose and gave the performers the old Sol Hurok Opening Night Locomotive. The dancers applauded back with enthusiasm. The reviews glowed. Box offices along the company's 16-city cross-continent route rang to the clink of coin. As for Impresario Hurok himself, his restless eye was probably already roving the map of Russia that was included in the official program. A ballet troupe from Monchegorsk, perhaps? Or sword dancers from Pinsk...
