Glittering "Can-Can" Premiere It might seem from all the social activity the week the strike was declared that Hollywood was being frivolous — but believe me, we were keeping our chins up with tears in our hearts. It helped no one. even those laid-off, to sink into gloom and it was a courageous lace Hollywood turned to the world, her glamour banners flying. The entire Carthay Circle forecourt and terraced approach looked like a Paris street as the stars turned out for Can-Can, the big, bright, gaudy, entrancing picture starring Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier and Louis Jourdan. Director Walter Lang, and his wife, Fieldsie, had invited Jimmy McHugh and me to be their guests and it was an added thrill to spend the evening of such a big triumph for Walter as a member of his party. Along with us were those two cute 'justengaged' Nancy Sinatra and Tommy Sands, and Nancy's mother. The junior Miss Sinatra kept flashing her beautiful diamond engagement ring (which held her attention, I'm afraid, more than her father up on the screen). Shirley McLaine kept us amused by asking ii we thought Can-Can would be released in Russia where 'Mr. K' (who panned it as in bad taste when he visited the set ) could see the finished movie. Jayne Mansfield, sporting more decolletage than usual (if that's possible) was on the arm of her ever-lovin' Mickey Hargitay and I must say the crowds seem fond of this really good-natured girl— she always gets a big hand. Among others I saw Eddie G. Robinson June Haver and Fred MacMurray, producer Buddy Adler and his wife. Nanette Fabray, and many, many others.
