But Mrs. Hecht's little girl had just been forced out of the cast of the play Midsummer by Actors' Equity, and Broadway rang with the loudest theatrical Donnybrook in many a season.

A friend spotted Mrs. Dean Acheson-who is accustomed to a solidly booked social calendar-wandering into a movie. Dean Acheson showed up at a congressional hearing relatively unbriefed and unconcerned.
