...withdraw from Port Said until it was satisfied. Then Macmillan rose, gave an impassioned speech. He ran over the tragedies that would ensue if the Tory Party split and the government fell. The U.N. would collapse, he declared; Britain would be isolated from its U.S. ally; Nasser would remain triumphant, and the Arab world would rally to his leadership; the Russians would take over in the Middle East through infiltrations, thus splitting the Commonwealth geographically and politically. All this could and would happen in a matter of weeks unless the Tory Party pulled together. His speech brought "loud acclaim...
Trampled & Triumphant. This week Charles Laughton will join Bolger in a floppy London music-hall version of With a Little Bit of Luck, from My Fair Lady. Tipping a pixy toe at his audience, Bolger will also invite a nostalgic following to join him in the happy choruses of Once in Love with Amy, a great vaudeville song from his 1948 Broadway hit, Where's Charley...

Whatever her predicament or hairdo, Actress Russell remains the triumphant embodiment of festive pandemonium and soignee wackiness. Hers is a delightful twining of farceuse and comedienne: she can give a drawing-room inflection to a loony-bin situation, or turn daffy or profane in the midst of playing a grande dame. To wonderful good nature she adds a few drops of acidity-juice from a sun-kissed lemon. Though Auntie Mame is really a one-woman show, Peggy Cass deserves mention as an unmarried expectant mother, and Polly Rowles as a stage star who has always started sleeping...
