Died. Walter Lang, 73, motion-picture director for 36 years; of liver failure following surgery; in Palm Springs, Calif. Hollywood was making silent movies when Lang arrived in 1925, but he made the jump into talkies, Technicolor and wide screens with ease. He directed nearly 40 films including Cheaper by the Dozen, Call Me Madam, Can Can and The King...
...that I always thought it would be interesting to see all those naked men, but actually it was rather boring. (This is not meant to give the impression that real live naked men make me yawn; it's just that Joe taking his clothes off twenty-four times a technicolor second gets monotonous the fifth time around. And anyway, I've seen him before...
...Technicolor Cross. Humbard's sumptuous Cathedral of Tomorrow in Akron was in fact built for television, though it also serves a local congregation of 2,800 families. Opened in 1958 at a cost of $3,500,000, the vast circular structure is lavishly appointed: glass and marble walls, a huge wooden dome, tiers of theater-type seats around a stage that can be raised or lowered hydraulically. The auditorium atmosphere is hardly dispelled by the cathedral's single mark of religious character: a 100-ft.-long cross, hung horizontally, embellished with 4,700 light bulbs that...

The music is no mere come-on; in the hour-long show, Humbard's sermon usually takes little more than 15 minutes. The Cathedral Singers-including Rex's wife Maude Aimee, a pert, peppery, brunette soprano who becomes properly demure for the Gospel numbers-are the stars. Smoothly pancaked, eyelashed, and carefully coiffed in styles of the '60s, the girls come...
...auto-parts company, Midas-International used to be a remarkable place to work. At its Chicago headquarters, Bach chamber music wafted from hidden loudspeakers, while Technicolor-plumed finches twittered in a giant cage. The boss, bumper-bald Gordon Sherman, 43, was in the office round the clock some days-and other days scarcely at all. A man of intense energy and occasional brilliance, he often worked at home, where he also liked to tend his orchids and hummingbirds or tootle his oboe and English horn. Occasionally he held executive meetings at a zoo, or in the office by candlelight...
