...lush Park Avenue Theatre at 59th reopens Thursday with Joel McCrea in Stars in My Crown. Radio City Music Hall provides Errol Flynn in Rudyard Kipling's Kim as accompaniment to its annual Christmas stage extravaganza, including this year "The Nativity" and "Star Bright." Jose Ferrer's Cyrano de Bergerao adds extra holiday performances at the Bijou December 25 through January...

I was in the fourth jeep from the front and Colonel Kim, the R.O.K. commander, was just ahead. As we rounded a curve the whole side of the mountain ahead of us opened up with fire.
