GABLE AND LOMBARD...
Gable and Lombard, a steamy account of the King's stormy third marriage, will open early this year. So will W.C. Fields and Me, starring Rod Steiger.

Ken Russell, fresh from destroying Liszt, will now have a go at Valentino, casting Rudolf Nureyev as the screen's greatest lover. Recently, Elia Kazan started to film F.

Gould resigned as institute president last month (although he remains a trustee), and at an emergency meeting Lowther was thrown off the board. Lawrence E. Dennis, 54, former provost of the Massachusetts state college system, was named treasurer and acting president. Dennis estimates that the institute is at least $500,000 in debt and may have to shut down at the end of the month...
