...usual duchesses were there (Argyll, Westminster), the usual film stars (Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda), the usual sporty financiers (Serge Semenenko, Huntington Hartford). The room where Humphrey Bogart once fought a woman over a toy panda was awash with unfiltered nostalgia, as everyone had a last fond sit on the zebra-stripe upholstery. Beaming throughout was John Perona, El Morocco's owner, and Journal-American Society Columnist "Cholly Knickerbocker" (Igor Cassini) pronounced the eulogy, quoting Lucius Beebe: "El Morocco and Perona are the products of emergent evolution. Nobody foresaw that through the agency of a constantly diminishing dance floor...
...scene. (Eden Roc, in turn, is a Harwyn offshoot; New York nightclubs sometimes seem to multiply like amoebae.) The Stork itself is no longer particularly chic, and even the end of its feud with Walter Winchell has done little for either party. El Morocco, which still retains its zebra-striped glamour, is nitery-by-appointment to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor...
Instead of sinking their money in a leather-topped bar and zebra-striped divans, they hired a good sound engineer to build an acoustically perfect room. In a typical program, Ruff and Mitchell, assisted by Composer-Pianist Robert Helps and Drummer Charlie Smith, presented the U.S. premiére of Paul Hindemith's Sonata for Alto Horn and Piano, followed it with a Ruff-Mitchell composition titled Fugue for a Jazz Trio.

Shot, cut and canned in 33 days of cost-trimming, brain-fagging labor, it is by all odds the best picture made by Italy's Roberto Rossellini since Open City (1945) and Paisan (1946). It restores Rossellini, after eleven years of private enterprise (Ingrid Bergman, Sonali das Gupta) and artistic calamity (Stromboli, A Trip to Italy, Europe '51), to his rightful but qualified eminence as a cinema natural who shoots movies the way other men shoot dice-when he's cold he just...
...reelected. Father of seven, he got into politics (as town councilman in Everett) in 1948, and proudly asserts: "Put me down as one of the original Kennedys." Bidding half-heartedly for a state senate seat is I. (for Irving) John Kennedy, 47, manager of Boston's Zebra cocktail lounge. John Joseph Kennedy, 36, a salesman for "Roost-No-Mor" bird repellent, is running for commissioner of Norfolk County, thinks he may be related to Senator Kennedy but "I'm not using the name." John A. (for Andrew) Kennedy, 62, tree warden of Plymouth for 22 years, is trying...
