Broadway Gossip and Celebrity Sparks Across 1940s Scene
The column glances at Cameron Mitchell and Van Johnson in MGM's High Barbaree and recalls past roles. It notes Serge Rubenstein’s legal costs surpassing $200,000 and LaGuardia’s health worries from weight loss. It mentions Joe Nunan seeking resignation for a restaurant post, two under-25 detectives on New York's Finest, and looming budget cuts. It references publicist James Donahue selling trolley cars to Portugal, Churchill’s Cuba-sourced cigars X-rayed by British intel, the Alzanas' rope-walking act, and Mrs. Alzanas Jr. in Washington Digest feuds among senators. It adds taunting jokes about cocktails, Derby lore, and Mrs. FDR’s driver license, while flagging Florida gaming, tax indictments, and June 2 pineapple worker strikes. The piece teases WilWyatt overseas post, steel profits stirring price cuts, and a tic tac toe electricity sign on 47th Street.
