What with this and hexjffl&ktiful performance iiwThe Ten Commandments, Yvonne should become Very Big in Holijro&od right-about now. . . . The French say, "RairiieV and. Grace have a tough time driving through W^Scow^^-ihe time they shift to third gear meyW'out of the country!" Gary Lewis, Jerry's eleven-year-old, visited Paramount daily during his Black Fox Military lunch hour to watch his everlovin' dad rehearse a new solo act for the Sands Hotel, Las Vegas. ... If Gary was worried about his pop's upcoming performance without Dean Martin, he could have saved himself the headache. The guy was great?╟÷singing, dancing, making with the jokes and generally tearing the joint apart. , . . Opening night Jerry was on forty-eight minutes, but it seemed like five. ... In one of his funniest bits, Jerry fights with a line of chorus boys, attempting to be heard above their overly-enthusiastic, overly-arranged chorusings. He also panto- . mimes an idiot-type typist, shows up in a boys' ballet-and-tap class with two left 'feet that later turn into something very big in the heel- and-toe division; beats out his bigtime biscuit, Rockabye Your Baby, and slams home an hilarious ringside routine with Georgine Darcy, the sexy Miss Torso of Rear Window. . . . Question: Did I miss Dean Martin? Answer: To be truthful, yes; but Jerry's first time at bat as a single almost had me forgetting ?√ß Dean's indomitable straighting?╟÷no mean achievement after all these years. . . . Among those who got into the act opening night were Jerry's folks, Rae and Danny Lewis, and his chums, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. ... Eddie, incidentally, got hot at a crap table at the Silver Slipper, so Debbie sat solo through the first part of Jerry's show. . . . Fisher, by the way, in case you haven't yet found it out for yourself, is a real powerhouse on the screen in his first movie, Bundle of Joy. . . . Greta Thyssen changed dresses three times during the evening, and each was more deeply cleavaged than the last. Just to show you what a sharp sister Susan Strasberg is: When a reporter asked the eighteen-year-old: "Do you think you are equipped to play the Stage Struck role for which Katharine Hepburn won an Oscar?" Susan replied: "Yes, I think so. But in the ?╟≤ final analysis it isn't whether you or I think j so?╟÷it's what the public thinks." . . . 20th- \ Fox claims it'll pair Jayne Mansfield and Elvis I Presley in The Love Maniac?╟÷and if it does ?╟÷wow! ... A Santa Monica high school class arrived at Marineland to learn about nature just when Jayne Mansfield showed up in a Bikini and they sure did. Jeff Hunter's been spending his mornings studying flying, his afternoons studying cancer causes, his evenings studying busty Dusty Bart- Ifti; . . .
