...Peep Show. To Ethel Barrymore, first lady of the U.S. theater, the '20s were ugly-"Ugly fashions, ugly manners, ugly dances like the Charleston, and ugliest of all ... the self-pity of the young intellectuals, 'the Lost Generation.' " But she was spared, she said. She was too busy to really notice. Most of her shows were hits -Déclassée, The Second Mrs. Tanqueray, The Constant Wife, The Kingdom of God. After 14 years, her marriage to Russell G. Colt of the firearms family had ended in divorce, and she was devoting herself...
Love Is My Profession (Raoul J. Levy; Kingsley International) is easily the peep-showiest, cheap-thrillingest of all the Brigitte Bardot pictures-and probably the best.

Sophia Loren refuses to wear blue jeans, and Designer Head...

In Paris Macmillan's decision aroused grumbles that this was an odd time for a British Prime Minister to decide to accept an invitation which the Soviets first extended to Sir Anthony Eden 2½ years ago. But U.S. leaders raised not a peep. Having just played host to Mikoyan, they were scarcely in a position to complain. And they felt no need...
...Peep Show. The earliest starter-General Motors' Buick-broke away fast. Buick General Manager Edward T. Ragsdale happily reported that dealers sold an estimated 20,000 the first two days, ordered 52,358 more the first week. In little more than a week, Buick had accomplished a sales job that required two months last year. From Boston to Seattle, showroom crowds ran two to four times higher than last year's. So did firm orders. "Only one thing has kept us from selling a whole lot more right now," said Sales Manager Clarence J. Lauer of Emerson...
