A fragmented piece surveys industry figures. It notes directors writers and producers as articulate and name droppers while actors and salesmen claim larger appetites. It comments on English actresses as hard to interview and comedians with big egos. It ends noting singers musicians and cameramen and technicians as having distinct worlds.
A crib of mixed content shows a crossword puzzle on many clues including ancient regions and fruits, followed by Hollywood notes about Janet Blair, Sid Caesar, Nanette Fabray, and TV life. The piece includes social observations on the industry, retirement, and a bridge column exploring seven no trump play and entry techniques. It concludes with a chef line and a syndicate note.
A notice explains time conversions for network program listings stating Eastern Time applies with local adjustments. It notes central and mountain zones may shift by one or two hours and warns that last minute changes cannot be included.
