...wrote Hollywood Gossipist Hedda Hopper five years ago about the former Julia Jean Mildred Frances Turner, the former Mrs. Artie Shaw, the former MES. Stephen Crane (twice), the former Mrs. Bob Topping, the former Mrs. Lex ("Tarzan") Barker-better known to millions as Cinemactress Lana Turner. Lana Turner had a daughter, Cheryl, to whom she gave gifts, money, luxurious living, exclusive schooling-everything, in fact, except a normal upbringing...
...Young Lions (20th Century-Fox). "And the sword shall devour thy young lions," wrote the prophet Nahum. His words, affixed in epigraph to Irwin Shaw's bestseller of 1948, seemed no more than intellectual makeweight in what proved to be a light package. But the film version of the novel, as conceived and produced by the late Al Lichtman (TIME, March 3), strikes deeper into human substance and rises more often to the epic height of its adage and its argument. Epic is plainly what Moviemaker Lichtman hoped to achieve-a sort of Europead elaborated out of the decisive...
...play, to which Irwin Shaw's script is reasonably loyal, is flagrantly Freudian, and it is to Hollywood's credit that the extremities of the Elms have not been pruned.

Though he draws on a subject file of 6,000 cross-indexed listings for his conversational ploys, Gibson never uses a script, a Teleprompter or an "idiot card," even ad-libs his commercials. He makes it a jaunty habit to breeze into the radio studio scant seconds before...
...James Shaw's report that urea is an effective anti-decay agent [Jan. 13] comes as no surprise to those acquainted with the Roman poet Catullus [84-54 B.C.], who, in poems 37 and 39, lashes out at a Spaniard who aspires to be the lover of Catullus' girl and accuses him of keeping his teeth white by rubbing them with urine...
