...years of marriage (one daughter) and four of separation, beefy Cafe Societyman John Sims ("Shipwreck") Kelly, 45, far past his pro football days and farther still from his native Kentucky town, slapped a divorce suit on his millionheiress wife, Brenda Diana Duff Frazier Kelly, 34, far past her own salad days as America's "No. 1 debutante and glamour girl." Grounds: desertion. Glamour kept haunting Brenda from the heady evening of her coming-out party (cost: a reported $60,000) in 1938. Moaned she, more than a decade later: "Being a glamour girl is the worst thing that...
Take, for instance, the short-order cook at the "shack" in this picture, the one they all call Slob (Lee Marvin). He looks as if he never did anything more subversive than add a slice of forefinger to the chicken salad, but his name is Mr. Gregory, and his game is dirtier than his sandwich board.

Party orators were out in corps force; they included nearly all the Cabinet, many of the White House staffers, more than a score of Republican governors, Senators and Representatives.

November is Japan's traditional wedding season,* and with 700,000 couples either wed or affianced, this year's season promises to be perhaps the biggest since World...
London's loss of reserve over U.S. musicals is easier to understand after seeing the two local contestants: both make Ankles Away a triumph. The Buccaneer, Sandy Wilson's follow-up to The Boyfriend, concerns a wholesome boys' magzine and the competition from American comics. Salad Days, produced by the Bristol Old Vic who should know better, follows a young couple's escapades with flying saucers and a magical piano. Both the plots are thin, music routine, and puns atrocious. ("What shall I wear on a flying saucer?" "A tea gown, of course...
