...canapés. Are they tasty? Nutritious? Amid all of Cannes' other enticements-the good food, fine wines, gorgeous people-one is tempted to ask: Who cares? But the 12-day bash, which ends Sunday, has had some lovely tidbits-a wide range of art films with pizzazz, genre pieces with a high IQ and a few probing documentaries have made this Cannes, so far, a rewarding festival. One mark of the overall quality: even the disappointing entries aren't a total loss...
...hard to find a Hutton equivalent among her contemporaries, let alone now. Danny Kaye poured comic pizzazz into his tongue-twisting tunes, but had a hard time with ballads. Martha Raye did a lot of broad comedy, but without Betty's fresh-scrubbed glamour. Doris Day was another band-singer blond gone Hollywood, but with a more conventional softness.

Now you’ve got something.And this idea is not a new one. This very paper almost two years called for a mascot, following the Harvard/Yale game...
...Chorus Line didn't need shills in the ticket line for long. It opened a few weeks later to raves, moved to Broadway, went on to win nine Tonys and ran for a (then, but no longer) mind-boggling 15 years. Its celebration of old-fashioned Broadway pizzazz combined with an astringent, character-driven intimacy - about the struggles, both professional and personal, of a band of aspiring Broadway hoofers auditioning for a new show - was something fresh in musicals. But a lot has changed since those pre-AIDS, pre-Andrew Lloyd Webber days. For one thing, the self-referential, show...
