Kinkaid, 57, boss of the Seventh Fleet and member of MacArthur's famous "K-team" (Kinkaid, Krueger and Kenney).

Bringing up the rear of Broadway's busiest week since December were two footsore comedies. Both tried for laughs on the subject of bastards; neither got any. It's A Gift featured a will bequeathing a large fortune to any female in the family who produced a love child. Happily Ever After featured a parson who had performed 10,000 marriages-without ever having been ordained...
