Married. Celeste Holm, 26, adaptable actress who played a home wrecker in The Women, an aging cipher in The Time of Your Life, a rather naughty girl in Oklahoma!; and A. Schuyler Dunning, 36, ex-A.A.F. captain; she for the third time, he for the second; in Manhattan...
...Carmen Jones the opera (in blackface, too). The first Aquacade, in Cleveland ("I'll use Lake Erie for a stage and Canada as a backdrop"), was going to turn a swimming meet into a musicomedy. The second Aquacade, at the New York World's Fair, starred Eleanor Holm, whom -just as soon as Fanny Brice divorced him-Rose was going to marry.

The young lady throws in her lot with her aunt, who also hides fugitive slaves. As a result, Evelina quarrels with her Kentucky beau (David Brooks), owner of one of the fugitives; and when Auntie gets pinched for crusading, Evelina accompanies her to jail. In musicomedy, however, stone walls do not an ending make...
...could only pick out a few people who didn't blend completely into the shadows. In the midst of the beblam, rabid fans of Lena's were Bill Harrington and Pete Holm. They have a few things to say consequently which Colonel, James Worsley should hear. The Colonel, besides not relishing the lineup and contact, can't appreciate all forms or art, its seems. If you ask those in the know, he's afraid Cootie Williams boogie would "send" him against his will...
