...Opening in a new play is just like catnip to a kitten!" says Actress Helen Hayes, in her first week as the rollicking, white-haired, fuzzy-headed Duchess in Time Remembered. Shy, tiny (5 ft.) Actress Hayes, regarded by many as the First Lady of the American theater, is delighted to be back on Broadway in her first original role since Mrs. McThing in 1952,. "I couldn't bear to think of anyone else playing that delicious Duchess," she explains. "I guess I was just waiting for the right play to come along...

Of Composer Cole Porter and Prince Aly Khan: "I don't know love, but for them I felt something more than friendship. Maybe it was really and truly love! If I were 40 years younger. . ." Then, snapping that she "hates gossip," Elsa bade arivederci...
...sensations, new tingling images." Elle, France's biggest women's weekly, denounced her as a fake. They were all talking about nine-year-old Minou Drouet, whose poems launched a major cultural rhubarb in Paris (TIME, Nov. 28, 1955). Since then, Minou (a French pet name for "kitten") has fought back. When a critic sniffed that she should go back to her dolls, Minou answered: "Dolls are the dead. Have I no more to do here on earth?" More important in her defense was a test for membership in France's Society of Authors, Composers and Music...
