...seen two especially remarkable, though perhaps temporary, conversions-of New York's gangling, muscle-bound Ham Fish, and excitable pinko Vito Marcantonio. Fish took the floor to condemn the bill unsparingly until his colleague, New Jersey's white-haired, red-faced Charles Aubrey Eaton, quietly asked him how he was going to vote. Representative Fish gulped heavily, admitted that he would vote for the bill, faded out of the debate.

Recently a group of cinema luminaries burst forth in Noel Coward's nine-play cycle Tonight at 8:30 right in Los Angeles' El Capitan Theatre. Suddenly the stage became as popular in Hollywood as pinko politics used to be. Three weeks ago, amid a bright glare of flash bulbs, the Coward cycle reached its climax, with Noel himself in the audience. Bedazzling was the throng that welcomed him. Even the reclusive Garbo was there, escorted by her dietitian Dr. Gayelord Hauser, who puts as much faith in vegetable juice as Popeye puts in spinach...
