After Beetsy attends a num- : ber of horse shows and after Keenan completes some GI en- I tertainment tours, the two will talk again. Ipfi^I'm hoping," Keenan tells v xne, "that, by then, Beetsy will II have changed heir mind and will .be ready to come back to me." Jane's Chums Approve - It's true that Jane "Wyman and Freddie Karger had known I each other for years and had s, seen a lot of each other during their Columbia picture.. .but isn't it also true that they only had been out on four dates .cwhen they decided to get mar~ \ tied? >||?║ip ; Regardless, everybody in Hoi- ! lywood likes Freddie, and s Jane's chums feel this mar- \ riage may be the one to give j her J.: Paramount was willing to give Bing Crosby plenty of time off from "Little Boy Lost," but I Bing called Bill Perlberg and said: ,s"l can't stand sitting around the house. I had rather come back to work." So Bing returns to the cameras today.

They have been dating quietly at Frascati's. Liz9 Family Gathers Tlie nursery in the new Liz Taylor-Michael Wilding home has been painted yellow and white. Incidentally, it looks as if Liz'. entire family may be here in time for the birth of the baby. Her parents already have returned from the east and the star's brother, Howard, hopes to return from Korea time for Christmas. Chums say Zsa Zsa Gabof is furious at Artist Peter llair- ehild for telling an interviefver that she is not a beautiful woman. %^ Six foot, four Howard Keel just bought himself one of those tiny MGs. Three attractive European film offers are being studied by Anne Baxter but the first order of the day for Anne, now that she has finished "I Con- fess," will be to take a 10 day's vacation in Acapulco wfth Hus band John Hodiak.
