Michigan's gregarious Democratic Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams went Dutch to help the townfolk of Holland (pop. 15,858) celebrate their 26th annual Tulip Festival. Clogging among admirers on his wooden shoes, Soapy Williams obligingly got down on hands and knees, worked himself into a lather scrubbing the town's main street, later danced through an arch of arms with pretty Dawn Poppen. who will reach voting age in five years...
...said, 'Mr. George, I don't know where you're going to live, but I'm going to live right there' "). He reads the morning papers, shaves (sometimes with a parakeet named Bobbie perched atop his head eying the lather hungrily), breakfasts on grapefruit and coffee with his wife, who is known throughout Washington as "Miz Lucy" (says Miz Lucy: "I always call him Mr. George, no matter how sweet I feel, or how mean").

He shaved with a safety razor, an old-fashioned brush and lather. While he breakfasted on orange juice, boiled eggs and coffee, his secretary typed out the statement. When the pilot reported the ground temperature, Dulles chose a suitable ensemble (blue double-breasted suit, Homburg), being careful, as he dressed, to tuck his statement in his breast pocket. Landing in Bonn, Dulles looked tanned and completely relaxed, ready for work...
About Mrs. Leslie (Paramount). Shirley Booth, with her gilded Oscar (Best Actress of 1952, for her work in Come Back, Little Sheba) scarce beginning to peel, has already laid aside her dignity and gone for a summer's dunk in a tub of sentimental lather.

Shirley plays a part that is wallowingly reminiscent of John's Other Wife...
