THE whole cast and crew of "After the Thin Man" gave a tree and flower shower for Myrna Loy the other evening at her new Coldwater Canyon home. They had to get a two-ton truck from the studio transportation department to make delivery. IF YOU want to make a hit with Bob I Taylor, just let him know there's a new kind of watch on the market.
