Before leaving on a ten-week flight that took him around Africa, Ty Power gave a party in the Champagne Room of the Mocambo. Clark Gable came with Dolly O'Brien, one of his favorite and steady companions. Richard Greene and his beautiful actress wife, Patricia Medina, also bid Ty goodbye. Although movie roles await him in England, Richard's reading play scripts like mad with an eye towards the Broadway stage. 4 Lana Turner had a wonderful time dancing with Ty, but a few days later she was crying at the airport as he took off in a new DC-3 Douglas Transport. Lana's going to join him in Africa, then on to Paris. Van and Evie Johnson hated to budge from their own fireside but they did it for Ty. They may bid for Diosa Costello's beautiful home so they'll have enough room for their growing family — expected in January. ■ As sad as any separation is, particularly where a child is involved, the Danny Kaye rift is beginning to assume a slightly sophisticated Noel Coward slant. Instead of nursing the blues, or crawling into a shell. Sylvia has bloomed into an outwardly gay, happy charmer — and when I say charmer, I mean it. She's cut her hair short, the new ballerina styles are wonderful on her, and she looks cuter than peanuts. And that's what I call being smart. Although Danny still sees attractive Eve Arden, his chief interest since he and Sylvia separated, he has frequent dinners with his wife. I think it's pretty cute that it is now Sylvia who thinks any reconciliation should wait a spell "until Danny knows exactly what he wants out of life" — in her own words. Don't tell me it is any accident, either.
