Designer Geddes was so convincing that Schine last week announced plans to spend upwards of $10 million, under Geddes' direction, doing over the hotel and making it more than double its present size. Items: spacious (25-by-21-ft.) rooms with two baths and a balcony, a roof swimming pool with a beach of washable rubber-composition sand. On the six city blocks of empty land that surround the present building, Geddes and Architect Paul Williams, who is collaborating on the plan, will build 500 bungalows connected by a tunnel system to the hotel room service...
...Silver Whistle (by Robert McEnroe; produced by the Theatre Guild) tells how a spacious liar and accomplished charlatan rejuvenates an old folks' home. A 47-year-old hobo, Oliver Erwenter (José Ferrer) poses as a superbly virile codger of 77 and passes out to the men folk a magical aphrodisiac (actually, small bread pellets).

The university would spread over an area of one square mile in the spacious St. Foye district. There would be white stone buildings, a swimming pool and broad reaches of campus. It would cost $100 million and the whole job would take 50 years. Premier Maurice Duplessis made the first move: a check for $2,000,000 from the province of Quebec...
Over his purple-sashed cassock and heavy gold pectoral cross, Episcopal Bishop James Pernette De Wolfe of Long Island tied a white apron. Over his purple-edged skullcap he put a chef's white hat. In the spacious grounds of his cathedral at suburban Garden City, the bishop was chief cook (but not bottle-washer) at a clambake last week for the Episcopal Actors' Guild...
