...line-up on the speaker's stand as Jack Kennedy marched out to take his big bow last week was his sister Pat Lawford. And a proper distance behind her was her husband, Hollywood Star Peter Lawford (Never So Few, TV's Thin Man). For British-born "Pee-tah," as his friend, Mimic Sammy Davis Jr., calls him, such small-type billing on any other occasion might well be cause for foot-stomping temperament, but it must have comforted him to know that he was only the advance man for a new phalanx of Hollywood stars to whom...
...Clan, as every starlet knows (TIME, June 22, 1959), is led by Frank Sinatra and includes, among others, such neon lights as the Tony Curtises, the Milton Berles, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis and the Judy Garlands.

Once in Baton Rouge, a crowd so detested his playing that they smashed his sax, and Bandleader Pee Wee Crayton hired him and then wound up paying him not to play. Now enjoying his first real success, Coleman remains confused by the storm his music has created. Says he: "I just play what I hear and what makes sense...
...will do well almost any year with the really unknown names (Karl Ditters von Dit-tersdorf) that make his opponents uneasy. But what separates the great player from the merely good one is his ability to pronounce names correctly that most people muff ("Loo-EE-jee Da-la-pee-CO-la"). To take the guesswork out of pronunciation, Grayhill Productions has now issued an LP recording that no serious player can afford to be without...
