Capone the way Capone really was. Steiger not only moved and walked like him — he also talked like him. Amazing.

You may have read or heard about the many “muggers” in New York’s Central Park, among other dark places. We have also had three murders in that park.
But I have never heard or read about muggers tackling the horse-drawn hansom cabs lovers ride in between the Plaza Hotel on 59th Street through the park to 72nd Street and back again. (Price: Pay no more than $4 plus tip.)
I checked with some of the drivers and asked why muggers never attack the passengers (usually teeners necking) or hold up the cabbies. They assume, some said, that the mugger doesn’t fear being caught or shot so much as he fears being struck across the face with the driver’s whip.
Show Biz Novelet: Father Frederic Gehring (The Padre of Guadalcanal) found a lost, half-dead waif on the Guadalcanal battlefield twenty years ago and gave her a make-believe name which miraculously turned out to be her real name. The child supposedly had drowned 4,000 miles away.
When the Padre told the story to Naval officers Robert Montgomery and Gene Markey (of Hollywood), both hmf’d that people wouldn’t believe any part of it. “They’d say it was another Hollywood plot!”
That story is now in book form. The title: “A Child of Miracles.” Marty Abramson collabbed with Father Gehring. And the Messrs. Montgomery & Markey are expected to make it a movie.

Three films on Marilyn Monroe’s life are being made. A dozen recordings (albums) plus soundtracks of her songstyling are in the wax-works and many artists are painting her portrait.
Marilyn’s big fear was that she had become a Has-Been!

Over at Monsignore (a New York smart restaurant) the other dinner-time, the Arthur Murrays (celebrating their 50th Danciversary ) amused guests with this query: “How are Betty Bronson, Maude Adams, Jean Arthur and Mary Martin associated?”
Do you know?
Hmmmm, we thawtnut.
Well, Miss Adams created the role of Peter Pan in the original Barrie play. Betty Bronson played it in silent pictures, Jean Arthur had the role in a revival and Mary Martin in the Broadway musical and Televersion.
