Producer Cyma Rubin was hostess for a post-performance supper dance in the Pavilion’s Blue Ribbon Room. I asked whether she liked this or the New York company better. She purred, “This one’s sweeter.” I’ll bet! There have been constant backstage battles between Mrs. Rubin and the Broadway cast. In fact the periphery producer and Ruby Keeler haven’t spoken since the hit opened in January, 1971. The party was reunion time for the stars (on the road since December) and their children. June Allyson, pert as ever, was with Pamela and Dick Powell, Jr. Judy Canova, in blonde wig, all gussied up with jewels and white fur, arrived with her daughter and son-in-law. Prolific Dennis Day had a table just for his family including 8 of his 10 children ranging in age from 5 to 23. “If you don’t take me to see Engelbert, you won’t get any Humperdinck,” a middle-aged wife threatened her husband in the lobby of the Vegas Riviera Hotel. Chicks cry, broads buy, ladies lie, and spinsters sigh for this sex symbol. Five years ago he had a different name, and a family living on relief. Looking back on his painful childhood, he remembers, “sleeping on my face to try and push my protruding teeth back ... I was fat, too.” As a young man he and his wife, Pat, had few friends; “We were too poor to ask anyone in even for a glass of beer.” Today he drives a Rolls, lives with his wife and three children in a mansion outside of London, is purchasing his own island in the Caribbean and is a multi-millionaire. He returned to the Riviera, where it all started, in 1968. In order to accommodate the overflow, the 1,000 seat Versailles Room was enlarged by 150 chairs. *** A Cuban with an Italian restaurant! Casar Romero officially opened his Cappuccino Ristorante with a large cocktail party. The new venture doesn’t mean the Latin from Manhattan is giving up acting — or his clothing line - or his Arizona real estate interest. He’s moonlighting and has a percentage deal. “Butch,” as his close friends call him, started as a night club dancer. He switched to acting with a role on Broadway in “Strictly Dishonorable,” came to Hollywood for more of the same in “The Thin Man” in 1934. He has lived here ever since, where he has been in constant demand as an actor and escort. Cesar’s friends include blue bookers as well as entertainment figures. He travels in both circles and from A to Z - Elizabeth Allen to Virginia Zanuck - they came to pay tribute to the popular 67-year-old bachelor. *** Don’t believe rumors about a romance between Eva Gabor and Glenn Ford. Eva has taken an 8-month lease on the oceanside mansion of Teddy Gaston (a gift from Teddy’s former husband, J. Paul Getty). ~ Mala Boo, my spy at the beach, tells me Eva’s estranged husband, Dick Brown is a constant visitor and the house will probably serve as a second honeymoon “Cottage” for the couple. At the last minute Eva exercised a woman’s prerogative and changed her mind about filing for divorce. She enjoys being a woman. As she explains, “Alvess be satisvied with your own sex or you’ll nefer be satisvied with anybody else’s.” *** Beverly Hills financier Fred Maisel hosted a late cocktailery at his home for good friends, Congressman Alphonzo and Marian McCargo Bell. It was strictly fun (nothing political) even though it was just before the primaries. Martha Raye told me Phyllis Diller tried to convince her to go the face lift bit. Martha refused. “After all,” she admitted, “It’s taken me 56 years to get this way and it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.” DOOLITTLE’S Country-Style party for the “Country Girl” cast (and friends) included, besides The Man, Doolittle’s wife Norma; Jason Robards; Betty and Dave Rose, Maureen Stapelton (who starred) and George Grizzard, third member of the star-trio. Play’s a smash!
