At the Friars' dinner for Bob Hope, special Oscar winner, Milton Berle and George Jessel present him with a scroll.
John Bruno, host of the Pen & Pencil, Kim Hunter and Jack Palance scoop the Academy by giving Shirley comic Oscar.

HOLLYWOOD ON BROADWAY

Wonder how other "supporting" Oscar winners felt about that. Thomas Mitchell, Van Heflin, Teresa Wright, Charles Coburn, Barry Fitzgerald, Ethel Barrymore, Anne Baxter, Edmund Gwenn, Celeste Holm, Claire Trevor, Dean Jagger, George Sanders and Walter Brennan (who has won three) in particular.
During her sabbatical in Gotham, Lena Home "got with it" to such an extent, at the Bon Soir, she did a solo number from her table with the handclapping "accompaniment" of James Mason, Constance Moore, Marge and Gower Champion, Danny Thomas, Johnnie Ray, Jan Sterling, Paul Douglas and Gypsy Rose Lee. Novelist Mickey Spillane voted it the grooviest rendition of "Tiger Rag" he ever heard. Bob Crosby seconded the nomination.
Van Johnson will sing and dance to a medley of hits from "Pal Joey" and "Too Many Girls" during his London Palladium stint. He appeared in both Broadway tune-shows years ago. He's been practicing and singing three hours daily. "I want them to like me over there," says Van.
Marge and Gower Champion can charm even the most difficult "squares." At the Latin Quarter, a noisy foursome was creating a disturbance during the great night club act of Ted Lewis. Waiters and captains couldn't quiet the quartet of merrymakers, but Marge and Gower did so by merely going over to the table and whispering their joint request for "a little less noise, please." We hope Ted Lewis won't have to return the favor when the dancing stars open at Bill Miller's Riviera, sharing the program with Vic Damone.
Ralph Meeker had a large "7" appropriately painted on his dressing room mirror the night he opened in the Broadway hit, "Picnic," opposite Janice Rule. Director Joshua Logan, who brought him back from Hollywood, did the art work. It was Logan who put him in Henry Fonda's "Mister Roberts" and then recommended him to Irene Selznick for the male lead in "Streetcar Named Desire" when Marlon Brando left the play to make the screen version. After "Streetcar," Ralph hopped a plane to Hollywood where he made "Teresa," "Four In A Jeep," "Somebody Loves Me," "The Naked Spur" and "Jeopardy." In seven years, with a great assist from Josh Logan, Ralph's talents have earned him Broadway stardom in "Picnic!"
Gloria De Haven's hair, always a matter of conjecture, has been blonde, red and dark brown during the past year or so. It confuses her (CONTINUED ON pace id
