Danton Walker Paulette Goddard visited her N. Y. bank safety deposit vault three days in a row and spent a full three hours every morning. Upon arrival and departure she was met by a battery of lawyers and other legal aides for lengthy confabs. Quite the biggest mystery in town . . .

Celeste Holm almost stepped back into the leading role in "The King And I" on short notice when the musical play's star, Constance Carpenter, was suddenly stricken with an attack of indigestion while the understudy was also indisposed. Miss Carpenter recovered in time for her performance (opposite Yul Brynner), but Celeste was still hovering backstage as the curtain went up, just in case. Having starred in the musical for six weeks a year ago, while the late Gertrude Lawrence was vacationing, Celeste figured she could give an impromptu performance in an emergency. And knowing Celeste, we'd say she could too! (continued on next page* Jack Benny seems to be in a tizzy as he converses with Mervyn LeRoy. Jack wants Lena Horne to do a film with him.
