The great myth named Howard Hughes is one of the best of all Show Business bosses "because he's invisible?╟÷ you never see him?╟÷while all the other bosses are always putting their 2c in." "Yet in an eerie way you know that Howard Hughes is aware of what you're doing. You feel that he's got you wired for sound."

I Garden Wednesday. "I was producing the 'Pzazz *7d' show | lit Hughes' Desert Inn," Arden said. "One I day the ax fell. I got the message from | upstairs. 'No nudes.'

Nobody from upstairs was in to see the rehearsal, but one day I got H another message. That line was to come iftflHI out! Now how did he know?" HUGHES (1947) Rumors that Hughes checks on ev- "In an eerie way . . ." ery thing in his hotels with a closed circuit TV are current in Vegas. Arden only knows that he likes to work for him. "It's wonderful," he says, "to work for a boss you never see."

They specialize in hamburgers, cheese, bacon, pineapple ring, and a special batter. The juice is candied and the pineapple makes it bitey. Add lettuce, tomato, dill pickle, mustard. Twitty, now 35, has been perfecting this delicacy since '60 when he first hit the charts. * * * THE PREMIERE OF Charlton Heston's "Number One" in New Orleans: hotel fire, evacuation of guests, cloudburst?╟÷and one columnist's plane hit by lightning . . .
