Finally moving on to Brussels via Paris, the ballet troupers scoured Parisian shops for all the shoes, Pancake Make-Up, eye shadow, nets, Kleenex, false hair, powder puffs and bobby pins they could carry. Wardrobe Master Leslie Copeland flew to London to buy white shirts for the men. Upon his arrival in Brussels, well-heeled Director Lucia Chase and company members cut off the incongruous pockets. The U.S. embassy in London scissored red tape to arrange immediate funds for air-freighting costumes, put the Rambert Giselle score in a Brussels-bound diplomatic pouch. In Brussels itself, one especially vital consignment...
...long can the quiz shows last?" gloomed Master of Ceremonies Jack (Twenty-One) Barry one day last week, in the midst of staging an unemployment insurance debut as a song-and-dance man at Atlantic City's half-packed 500 Club. Plump and 40, Barry danced stiffly, told gags, talked his way through songs, though he is no Rex Harrison, and made a brief pass at a piano.

...years in sail, scrambling out on the swaying yards to clew up a topgallant sail, growing calluses on his knees from holystoning the wooden decks with "Bibles" (big stones) and "prayer books" (little ones). Though experiences in a square-rigger would seem to be of small use to the master of a modern liner, Bisset insists there is no better training. Any man in sail had to learn to make right decisions instantly, he argues. That Jimmy Bisset learned his lesson well is shown by his accident-free later service. On the Queen Mary he carried as many...
...Charles Montfior, master of the Restaurant Chez Pavan, is in love with gentle Liane, mistress of the hotel's flower pots. But apart from a bit of boudoir athletics that no true Frenchman would take seriously, he never gets his girl. The trouble is, he cannot concentrate. He can never quite get his mind off Vashni, an old sweetheart with the heat of youthful summers "always close about her, like an extra fragrance, that of a blossom crisping in the sun, which the kiss found under the heavy gold anklets that polished the skin, and behind her knees . . ."
