...cat fight came within spitting distance of breaking into the open at a lunch at Manhattan's Four Seasons restaurant, where the creative geniuses from "S.A." (Seventh Avenue to nonreaders of Women's Wear Daily) sat down with creative geniuses from the fashion magazines and the photographic studios to air their differences. The truth was, said one designer afterward, "we were afraid to say anything. We're so grateful to get even a little photograph in Vogue and Harper's that we're scared of getting them down...
Stravinsky's "Le Renard" is a burlesque performed by a cock, a fox, a goat, and a cat. The fox, of course, is trying to catch the cock, and the goat and the cat intervene to keep him from doing so.

The Cat! Then some of those cool New York cats-the critics-spoiled the party. They decided that, while Elliott was charming enough as a simple-souled cop who falls in love with a cat burglaress, they weren't so charmed by Librettist Ira Levin's pratfalling plot. As Mrs. Gould commiserated with her husband, the producers closed the play after...
