She shuns the Washington social whirl, lives quietly in a three-apartment building in suburban Silver Spring, Md. The other apartments are occupied by Bill Lewis, her ubiquitous administrative assistant, and his parents. Her office is run with taut efficiency, and every letter is answered by return, mail...
...stars (Nov. 17). Irma la Douce, still running in Paris (nearly four years) and London (two years), and by far the most successful modern European musical, comes to Broadway still flavored with Parisian argot as it pursues the light, fantastic tale of a Paris poule or tart (Sept. 29). Multitalented Meredith (The Music Man) Willson takes his second shot at Broadway with The Unsinkable Molly Brown-a story of the Titanic disaster and a survivor otherwise known as Tammy Grimes (Nov. 3).
