...rolling him under the table indicates its fear and misunderstanding of the individualist. But Jett's downfall also serves as a "justification" of the standing order. The Giant argument apparently is that individualists are kept poor for a good reason--they drink and they like to work off steam by hitting people. But Hollywood is not content with this--it insists on blaming the individualist for racial prejudice. Jett Rink, in his supreme poor form, calls Mrs. Bick Benedict III (a Mexican-American) a "squaw."

Not only was My Fair Lady still going strong and bringing at least $60 a pair for tickets v. $26 a pair for The Most Happy Fella and $20 for Damn Yankees, but a whole series of surefire new hits were on the way. Opening next week, Auntie Mame, starring Rosalind Russell, has a million-dollar advance sale, is virtually sold out through March. Bells Are Ringing, with Judy Holliday, has rave out-of-town notices...
