...some places the show is the clientele itself, three in particular: the Harwyn, the Stork and El Morocco. Like major-league ball clubs, they all have their stars. The Harwyn, especially nouveau riche, is a dissident Stork offshoot, having been started by former Stork employees, and treasures Frank Sinatra, who almost never slugs a photographer unless another one is there to snap the scene. (Eden Roc, in turn, is a Harwyn offshoot; New York nightclubs sometimes seem to multiply like amoebae.) The Stork itself is no longer particularly chic, and even the end of its feud with Walter Winchell...
...whose headwaiter has cultivated the manner of a Habsburg prince, offers the biggest marquee names, second only to the Copacabana. They include oldtimers and almost-old-timers (Nelson Eddy, Lena Home, currently Dick Haymes and Fran Jeffries) as well as occasional newcomers; recently the room sported the Kim Sisters-three Koreans who sing American and yodel, too. The Maisonette at the St. Regis has a small circle of chanteuses who supposedly appeal to society-Julie Wilson, Vicky Autier et al. The Cotillion Room at the Pierre does abridged versions of operettas that suggest only condensed milk...
When he is in the mood for Yank-baiting, no one does it with more enthusiasm than Yank-admiring Lord Beaverbrook, 81, Canadian-born proprietor of the London Daily Express (circ. 4,250,000) and three other British papers.

...irreverently, Montreal Poet F. R. Scott epitomized a nagging Canadian obsession: how to preserve a distinctive Canadian cultural identity alongside the powerful influence of U.S. television, books and magazines. Last week, in deadly earnest, a three-man Royal Commission on Publications-Canada's equivalent of a U.S. congressional investigation-was sounding the same theme. But along with its concern for Canadian culture, the commission had an unconcealed economic spur: a demand by the Canadian magazine industry for government protection from U.S. competition...
...Song. Set up by Premier John Diefenbaker three months ago, the Royal Commission on Publications is headed by the Ottawa Journal's president and editor, Michael Grattan O'Leary, also includes John George Johnston, a Toronto public-relations man, and Montrealer Claude Beaubien, vice president of the Aluminum Co. of Canada Ltd. The committee's assignment: to prepare, for parliamentary action, recommendations that, "while consistent with the maintenance of the freedom of the press, would contribute to the further development of a Canadian identity through a genuinely Canadian periodical press...
