PARTY of the month continued RIGHT : Janet Leigh's bag was packed, ready for a hurried trip to the hospital with Tony. BELOW: Nat and Bob were among the married romancers. LEFT: Esther Williams and Jeff Chandler were an attractive couple that starry night. RIGHT: Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Douglas had a special topic of conversation at supper. Their children. 18 Never was a hostess more prepared to have a baby than Janet Leigh was at the preview supper party of Janet and Tony s hilarious comedy The Perfect Furlough. Not only was Janet's bag packed and in the back of Tony's car in case she had to make a hurried trip to the hospital for the arrival of the Curtis' second baby, but her doctor. Dr. Leon Krohn, was a guest at both the picture and the party! However, the baby didn't premiere this night. Janet looked as cute as a button in a maternity gown with a harem skirt! She and Tony had taken over La Rue for their supper party and the swank Sunset Strip cafe looked very festive with roses on every table and an assortment of French wines in tall, flower bedecked bottles. All of Tony and Janet's pals turned out so it was a 'starry' night. Sitting at one table were such romancers as Jack Lemmon and Felicia Farr. Esther Williams and Jeff Chandler, and the married, but equally in love, Natalie Wood and Bob Wagner. Joan Collins, with a scooped-up hairdo and a low-cut black dress, with Joey Foreman. Doris Day looked like a fashion plate in a brocaded cocktail suit. Doris is really dressing up these days. Barbara Rush, twenty pounds thinner (I've been scolding her for carrying too much poundage, but no more) was one of the most beautiful girls present. The Gregory Pecks and the Kirk Douglases had supper together and talked mostly about their children. It was a tres gay evening, very Frenchy.
