...challenge, especially since 1 have green eyes," observed Actor Peter Ustinov. "I have to be careful not to open them too much." Ustinov's ocular difficulties are caused by his role as Hnup Wan, a bungling Chinese spy in the Walt Disney spoof One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing, which he is filming in London with Co-Star Helen Hayes. Ustinov's skill in portraying his character has proved especially unnerving for his wife Helene, who visited the set during the first day of shooting. "She seemed extremely upset when she realized who I was," says Ustinov...

Alice, a musical adaptation of the Walt Disney classic, which is a cartoon adaptation of Lewis Caroll's essay on sex and revolution, is playing at the MIT Student Center this weekend. Rumor has it that the MIT Players wanted Derek Bok to play the Cheshire Cat (he does have such a nice smile), but it turns out he can't sing. Charles Colson, who can and did sing, was next in line for the role, but his new agent, a fellow Chuck calls "God," said there wasn't enough money in it. Whoever they...
