Susan Hayward, Tony Owen and his wife Donna Reed were among the Hollywood citizens who turned out for the “/ Like Ike ” dinner and rally Kathryn Grayson and Zsa Zsa Gabor entertain daughters Patty and Francesca on the “ Lovely to Look At” set Cyd Charisse, dining at La Rue with her husband Tony Martin, is the latest convert to a summer-short hairdo Leo Genn, Eleanor Parker and Jean Simmons gather for a before-the-show chat at the Philharmonic prior to catching a Judy Garland performance a French Poodle. She fell in love with it on sight, which only added to her grief when it suddenly took sick and died. Believing another poodle was the best remedy, Geary called up Ann Sheridan. Now Annie’s quite a poodle raiser these days and loves every pooch in her kennels. “Call me at the end of the day,” she told Geary. “I have nine poodle puppies.

Lucy needs a rest but she just had to accept a guest spot on Ed Wynn's show. Years ago she tried out as a show girl for Ed Wynn on Broadway — and didn't get the job.

That’s right — ten thousand! “In my bracket, most of it goes for taxes,” grins the fabulous redhead, “but I had to do it to make myself believe I was worth that much money!” Isn't show business wonderful?

That Robert Taylor is facing the most illustrious period of his entire career. < Continued on page 14) 13
