...musical, Fiorello (TIME, Dec. 7), Actor Tom Bosley appears before Broadway audiences for the first time and gives them what they thought they had seen for the last time: the fire, drive and percussion of New York's Little Flower. "I was thunderstruck by the similarity," said Morris. Bosley reads the funnies with a perfect croak, pushes back his coat to place his hands, fingers down, on his hips while speaking, sings in a voice like the one that must have sounded in the shower at Gracie Mansion. He makes the most of his pudgy hands and Little Flower...
Eight years ago, Actor Bosley was a restaurant doorman. Born in Chicago, he started out there after discharge from the Navy in 1946, worked on local radio shows, did summer stock. Moving on to New York four years later, he picked up small acting jobs off Broadway and on TV, kept up his La Guardian waistline by checking hats at Lindy's (all the cheesecake he could eat).

...They had long since told the chronicle of her sorrows: the childhood blindness, the unhappy love affairs, the near-fatal auto accidents.

The Star was and is interested in Kansas City, in Missouri, the Prairie States, the Midwest, the U.S., and the world, in just that order. It has two staffers in Washington, one in New York and one in Paris, but it has three in Independence, Mo. and five in Johnson County, Kans. Says Roy Roberts: "We take care of home base first...
Just before the final curtain at a Broadway opening one night last week, the theater critic of the New York Times, a mild, slender, unassuming man with steel-rimmed spectacles and a grey mustache, slipped inconspicuously out of the Lyceum Theater and walked two blocks back to his paper. He settled into his chair on the third floor of the Times building on 43rd Street, and following the practice of years, spread out the theater program, a dozen freshly pointed pencils and a legal-size pad of lined paper. Then, writing by hand, one paragraph at a time-each snatched...
