...still an ignorant slob," she insists with a belligerence that suggests she intends to remain just that. But she strives mightily to make herself over, with psychiatry, acting lessons, voice lessons (she hopes to do a musical next). Twice a week she still goes to Manhattan's Institute for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation to work with blind disturbed children. It seems almost by design that she has little time left for dates, except for her platonic friendship with the Three Bears-the fatherly trio of Penn, Coe and Gibson-and with a couple of boys from the Actors...
...when she told her psychiatrist not long ago that she had put a piece of a friend's wedding cake under her pillow, he answered ironically: "At last you're taking active steps." Says she: "I don't know why, but I can't make a mature relationship based on trust, respect and recognition." She adds: "Most of Annie Sullivan is myself.

But the story gallops along, and the dancing scenes preserve the essential whomp. They'll love it in Lower Slobbovia...
...smellies here to stay? Or are they just another cinema gimmick that will soon be one with the paper goggles of yesteryear? No doubt the public will get tired before very long of having its nose tweaked. But if smelliemakers can provide more realistic smells and make more intelligent use of them, the scent track might offer rather more than meets the nose. Exhibitors can sniff secondary possibilities in "the olfactory dimension." One of them has suggested that if he could give his customers the smell of steam heat, he might be able to cut down his oil bill. Another...
