After the brawl: Arthur Miller, Simone and Yves, Marilyn. Party Of The Month: Would you pay $1000 to hear John Wayne and Guy Madison duet “Red River Valley”? Or a sizable sum to hear Tony Curtis play the flute? Well, guests at the Share Inc. party did. and applauded wildly when Mexican star Cantinflas donated $10,000 not to sing “Granada.” All for sweet charity’s sake. The popular Moulin Rouge became the old Trading Post all over again, with guests appearing in western riggings. Frank Sinatra as a Heap Big Indian chose to start an argument with Big Sheriff John Wayne and a moment later became involved in a parking lot brawl. Sannny Davis Jr. showed up in the uniform of a Confederate general and Dean Martin, as usual, was a relaxed master of ceremonies. Debhie Reynolds, with best beau Harry Karl, looked cute as a bug in her snug Western breeches, and Lucille Ball happy as a lark with her date, songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen. To me, Yves Montand looked like a passenger on a wagon train. Set News: Doris Day was trembling with emotion when they lowered a supposedly trapped elevator on the “Midnight Lace” set. From the sidelines, I had watched them raise the elevator to its trapped position and shuddered along with Doris when villain John Gavin attempted to get at her though the car roof. What a scene! A nightmare. really, as Doris’ screams rang out in what seemed like genuine terror. Now that I think of it, I’m not sure I didn t scream along with her. Incidentally, I wonder if those people who make a to-do over no more posed pictures of Doris and her son. Dennis, ever realize Dennis may prefer it that way? After all. a college lad in his teens must want some identification of his own. Scrambled Love: “It’s simply not true,” Tuesday Weld told me when I mentioned her rumored romance with Elvis Presley. “And neither is it true my mother lashed out at Elvis for bringing me home late on a date.” Over in London it grows even more mysterious. “I was never alone with Tuesday in my life,” says John Ireland, who wooed the teenage blonde some months ago. “In fact, I have alreadx chosen my next bride, the ex-Mrs. George Cameron.” Now try to figure that one out. . . . David Hedison dates Maria Cooper in Hollywood. But his long-distance telephone calls go to Lupa Bodine in Rome. They met when Lupa played a role in “The Lost World” with David. . . . And handsome Gardner McKay has settled on the Oriental beauty Greta Chi as his steady date. In fact. Greta crews for Gardner on his 18-foot outrigger boat and greater love hath no woman. Especially when the sea is choppy. ... It was really laughable the way several Hollywood starlets just happened to find themselves in Reno while Efrem Zimhalist was there preparing to divorce his wife. Steffi. Efrem paid them no mind, you can be sure. The Zimbalist mind is on actress Kip Hamilton, according to all reports. A wonderful actress, this Kip. Wonder if Doris would’ve scared even he-man Rock? I learn of Gardner’s new girl. 22
