Tanned, handsome Antarctic Explorer Vivian Fuchs arrived in London with his igman team at Waterloo Station, where he lit up a convivial pipe for photographers, who caught his wife Joyce in a mood that suggested he ought to change his tobacco. Later, "Bunny" Fuchs and his company dropped in on Buckingham Palace, where Queen Elizabeth knighted him (for leading the group on a 2,000-mile trek across the frozen continent), presented medals...
Last week two whopping gifts brought the center a trombone-length nearer reality. From Socialite Art Patron Mrs. Vivian Allen (daughter of Department-Store Tycoon Joseph Shoenberg, one of the founders of the May Co.) came $3,000,000, to be used on a 1,200-seat repertory theater. For the general fund covering construction expenses, one member of the Philharmonic's board of directors anonymously kicked in $500,000. Total gifts so far: $28,550,000, largely from the Ford, Rockefeller and Avalon Foundations. Still needed...
...sharp-tongued fledgling of the novel becomes, despite David Wayne's attractive playing, somebody far less individual on the stage. The show is most fun as a kind of production trek-producers' offices, lady stars (Vivian Elaine), auditions, rehearsals, feuds, hotel rooms.

Really fresh and funny is a very young coproducer, a long-on-argot but short-on-savvy brat-about-town, delightfully played...
...shining low in the north and the weather (10° F.) was balmy for Antarctica when Britain's Dr. Vivian E. Fuchs and his band of tractor-borne scientists paraded into Scott Station on the Ross Sea. The New Zealanders manning the station greeted them with a brass band: a trombone, washboards and garbage-can lids. Sled dogs howled a mournful welcome, and Americans from the nearby headquarters of Operation Deep Freeze presented a cake iced with the flags of Britain and New Zealand. Said bearded "Bunny" Fuchs: "We did what we set out to do." What...
...Riviera ruin. This sapped the story of much of its mystery. But what Heart lost in plot, it made up for in atmosphere and pictorial splendor-and a fine new twist at the end. Like Aeschylus' avenging Eumenides, the photographer's sister (chillingly played by Actress Vivian Nathan) swooped down on the unfaithful marquise with some sunny but telltale pictures, and sneakily implied that she would be around the house to haunt her for a long, long time...
