Embarrassing Custom. As were their ancestors, the Iranians today are lovers of ceremony, formality and tradition. They expect their Shah to act like a king and treat them as subjects. When he appears in a village, they fall to earth to kiss his feet, a custom that causes him much embarrassment. In his private life, the Shah can unbend. He and Empress Farah-with their three children, Crown Prince Reza, 6, Princess Farahnaz, 4, and Prince Ali Reza, 17 months-live in Teheran's Saadabad Palace in the summer, move to the better-heated Niavaran Palace when the cold...

...Broadway way back in January 1964, and for her 1,271 other glorious performances here in town and all over these United States. Thanks go also to Mary Martin for her Dollys in Dallas, the Midwest, on the Coast, Viet Nam, London and Tokyo (Haro, Dori!). A hearty kiss goes also to Ginger Rogers for those 18 swell months on Broadway after Carol went on tour, and looking to the future-as I am wont-for sharing the forthcoming two-shows-a-night binge with Dorothy in Vegas.
