Crooner Dick Haymes, who sat out World War II in the U.S. as a draft-exempt neutral alien, got final word that he is now an undesirable alien. A U.S. immigration official ordered Haymes deported to his native Argentina. Dick's thoughtless error: he illegally re-entered the U.S. last year after a flying visit to Hawaii, where he trysted with Cinemactress Rita Hayworth, now his fourth bride.

This applies even to motivations, as with the lurking homosexuality in the blatantly masculine housemaster. At times it becomes as hard to imagine how popular drama ever got along without...
