Last week leisurely "X" had its tempo jolted. Curtis' first postwar baby, Holiday, was ailing and in need of transfusions. Curtis President Walter D.

And all the rest of the Irish, great & small: the Pat O'Rourkes, Maggie Burkes, Tim Sheas, Muldoon the Solid Man, the Rose of Tralee, Dr. Michael O'Hickey...
...bowed. It was a triply ripping occasion: 1) the opening of Britain's first big postwar musical, Big Ben; 2) the 125th production by Britain's Flo Ziegfeld, aging (73), arthritic Charles Blake Cochran; 3) a show written by a Member of Parliament-bung-nosed Sir Alan Patrick Herbert, famed as a humorous writer ("A.P.H.") and as a pillar...
