...hearts of millions that King of Kings will undoubtedly be filling Hollywood's collection plates for months to come. Scheduled for reserved-seat. pre-Christmas release at fancy prices ($1.50-$3.50 on Broadway), the film will soon be playing in 26 cities from Los Angeles to Rome, has rung up an advance sale of about $600,000-bigger than...
Natalie did not reach the top rung in one leap: she has been in films for nearly 20 years.

In 1959, some 200 Congressmen stopped by in Madrid, all deserving of hospitality from Ambassador John Lodge.
