L.," of Atlanta, believes: "Hollywood must not be judged by this one case or any single happening. I heard your plea on the radio the other night asking that the many not be smeared with the few. I get my greatest happiness out of going to the movies and so do most of my friends. This is why I am always so shocked when they rave and rant against Hollywood and its people every time a new 'case' comes up. All I can say is that I hope Hollywood is not put on trial along with Robert Mitchum."

After the show, I went backstage to see Greg and I couldn't have been more surprised at the lack of movie-star trappings in his dressing room. In fact, Greg, who gets every convenience he wants when he's at a Hollywood movie studio, shared a cubbyhole in the basement blocked off by curtains, with leaky pipes down the walls — and two members of the cast dressed with him. Most of the actors who appear in these summer stock shows love that sort of thing — getting right back to the greasepaint and the good old days of barnstorming. But such was far from the case when Jen nifer Jones came to the La Jolla Playhouse for a ten day run in Serena Blandish. Wow! What swank! Jennifer's costumes were created in Hollywood and two wardrobe women came along — plus her personal maid, hairdresser and secretary! The leaky-pipe "star" dressing room was completely out of the guestion, so an elaborately-appointed trailer was backed up to the stage door and served as her dressing quarters. Whether all this made a hit with the other summer stock troupers is a guestionable point. In any event, Jennifer sold out the house performance after performance. The fans went crazy over her and the show could have run a year. » • • Elizabeth Taylor grabbed football star Glenn Davis, and planted a big kiss square on his lips when the ex-West Pointer took off for service in the Orient. That youngster is really in love and she doesn't care who knows it. She wears Glenn's fraternity pin even on her evening gowns. They met when Davis came out to Los Angeles to train for his only professional football appearance with the L. A. Rams before taking off for Army duty. In fact, he stayed with the next-door-neighbors to the Taylors'. It was love at first sight. • • • Personal Opinions: The fact that her relatives, her father, mother and sister were constantly at the house may have had something to do with the final break-up of Gloria
