...shrill, scenery-chewing "panel" of other show folk, and only when she used her high but lilty voice did her seductive talents poke through. The Hit Parade was back (in stunning color for the 200,000 color-set owners), with a bevy of new performers led by young, moist-eyed Jill Corey, whose vocal renderings come with a lush, built-in sob. On the densely populated show called The Big Record, moonfaced Patti Page was mostly what the late Fred Allen called a Pointer, i.e., someone who points at someone else doing an act and says "Watch him"-the sort...
...Young Don't Cry (Columbia), but Sal Mineo's lustrous brown eyes get mighty moist in this movie while he fends off all manner of ruffians, twerps and smart alecks. As a 17-year-old paragon of adolescence in a Georgia orphanage, "Big Fella" Mineo stoutly defends the "little fellas" from harm, sturdily resists the temptations and blandishments of a bevy of Bad Examples. In hammering out his selfless philosophy of life, Sal learns through bitter experience to reject the cynical green applesauce of an opportunistic main-chancer (Thomas Carlin), and to sneer at the diesel-crass plutocracy...
...there-Roy Eldridge and Gerry Mulligan, Count Basie and Dave Brubeck, Erroll Garner and Ella Fitzgerald and a gaggle of other big-name jazz artists-as the fourth Newport (R.I.) Jazz Festival opened last week with the authority of an established institution. On opening night, there was a moist-eyed party in honor of Trumpeter Louis Armstrong's 57th birthday, which Louis ended on a sour note by blasting out The Star-Spangled Banner and stomping off stage when he found he could play only 13 numbers. Eartha Kitt undulated her way through a 15-minute dance history...
...their part, the 1,500 Young Republicans seemed-at first-to prove the pollsters' finding that Dwight Eisenhower is even more popular with the young ones than with old ones. As Ike looked on with moist eye, the Young Republicans adopted a resolution pledging themselves to "emulate your dedication to service and support your leadership." And they cheered lustily when Richard Nixon rapped "Republicans who snipe and gripe about the Republican Administration...
...great fun to watch as an outrageously brash song-and-dance man taking a reluctant theater by storm. At 36, Rooney is thin on top and thick at the jaw, but he still exudes boyishness, whether socking home Yankee Doodle Dandy in strutting, arm-pumping style, or getting moist-eyed over the last exits of Cohan's vaudeville teammates-his mother, father and sister. As the other three of the Four Cohans, Roberta Sherwood, James Dunn and Gloria De Haven seemed just right, and Singer-Dancer June Havoc also shone in a production well cast right down...
