...three-hour spectacle-roughly two-thirds movie and one-third stage show-that is anything but just another overpromoted metropolitan gyp. The customers are paying for spectacorn, and the Music Hall stage is equipped to give it to them 144 ft. wide and 67 ft. deep. The organ, with 375 stop tablets, can sound like everything from a Chinese gong to a glockenspiel, and vibrates so profoundly that it probably shows up on seismographs in the Soviet Union. The fixed lighting system, with a 4,3O5-key control board, is still one of the most advanced in the world, making...

I have to catch a train, but I was afraid that someone would steal your bike.'" At the movies, she adds, "I usually put it where the person in the box office...
Last week the official German Communist youth organ, Young World, gave vent to its chagrin. It ungallantly charged the U.S. with rigging the contest to call attention to East Germany's refugee problem: "It fitted wonderfully-an East Zone girl who 'chose freedom' and is beautiful, too." In East Germany, Marlene had been respected as an engineer, cried Young World indignantly, while in the West only her bust, waist and hips (36½-23-36) won admiration. And anyway, the newspaper warned Marlene, "You will only reign one year until the next contest...
