party plans. Closed to the general public, the soda fountain will be made available to any and all of Lee Marvin's friends and acquaintances invited to attend . . . thatfs the way young Marvin wants it . . . Judy Holliday's leading man in "A Name For Herself," Jack Lemmon, made his New York stage debut in last season's flop revival of "Room Service" at the Playhouse Theatre. The night he was told Columbia Pictures wanted to screen test him for the Holliday film, he stood up on his dressing room chair and scribbled his name on the ceiling along with the date of the good news. Coincidentally, his signature is just below that of Shirley Booth's — she occupied the very same room years before when she had a featured role in "Three Men On A Horse." Her name and the date marked the occasion that comedy closed after playing 835 performances . . . Richard ("The Robe") Burton believes in saving transportation money when his studio isn't footing the bill. His luggage, eleven pieces, preceded him to New York via Skycoach, the non-scheduled airline. Weeks later, the star followed aboard the same airline with budgetminded tourists and servicemen as his fellow-passengers. Partaking of the paper box dinner provided by the stewardess en route, he pitched in and did what everyone else had to do upon arrival — tote his luggage from the La Guardia terminal to a waiting bus . The name "Scott Brady" was paged continuously every two minutes for at least twenty minutes at Idlewild Airport before the star of "El Alamein" would answer. Of course, as was to be expected (planned and hoped for?) the Pan-American reservation desk was mobbed with Brady fans . . . If Carleton Carpenter isn't the most forlorn looking ex-Hollywood star in New York these days, who is? His friends are trying to cheer him up with the advice that he's bound to click in a new Broadway stage play that will send him back to MGM bigger than ever . . . Mamie Van Doren is very unhappy over the fact a noted Manhattan photographer has a batch of provocative pictures taken of her during rehearsals of a night club show which starred Jackie Gleason, when she was known along the Great White Way as Joan Olander . . . Brian Aherne, who portrays the captain of the ill-fated luxury liner in "Titanic," had to console a weeping movie fan who spotted him in the audience after the film ended at a showing in an exclusive East side movie theatre. The sobbing woman just couldn't believe that actor Aherne hadn't gone down with his ship and she kept insisting he was "so brave, so brave," as the theatre patrons milled about the lobby during the embarrassing incident. Aherne finally put the woman in a cab and paid her fare in advance . . . B WOMEN WANTED TO MAKE MONEY *** FREE!!! Do you want o REAL PHOTOGRAPH of your FAVORITE MOVIE STAR?

Tommy Noonan, featured with Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," arrived in New York for a series of press interviews during which he refused to divulge his impressions of both glamourous stars. All he wanted to yak about was Betty Grable whom he has yet to meet . . . The two-reel 3-D comedy, "Spooks," starring the Three Stooges, had Gotham i film audiences squealing and gasping as they ducked pies, glue and buckets of water. In retaliation, a bobby-soxer witnessing 3-D for the very first time, got carried away and tossed a candy bar at the picture. The young patron's aim wasn't deadly, it landed in the lap of an elderly gentleman who assumed it had come from the screen. Convinced the 3-D technique was truly amazing, the candy bar recipient planned to stay through several shows in order to stock up a supply of confectionery. When other candy bars weren't forthcoming, the aged gentleman complained to the management and demanded a refund . . . Alexis Smith created a near -panic in the grand ballroom of the WaldorfAstoria when her multi-stranded pearl necklace broke and scattered tiny beads all over the waxed floor. Several rhumba-enthusiasts skidded and slipped and knocked other dancers to the floor in a scene that would have warmed the cockles of the late Mack Sennett's heart. Deeply embarrassed by the incident, Alexis did everything but help the hotel porters sweep the mammoth floor before order was restored . . . lours info cash calling on friends, nd showing rhem beautiful, newesrs, and lingerie, hosiery, children's etc. Take orders at amazingly low with big profit for you.
