Westside representatives from the film colony were Pete Lawford, who was' Brentwood's contribution to the festivities, and Rhonda Fleming who departed from her Bel-Air home in order to be on hand, and who also took in a few days of sunshine at AcapUlco with hub- the other swank desert hotels. Jack Entratter, who is responsible fo,r the success of thfe New York Copa Ca??. bana, is the first real showman to go into Las Ve- *gas and ?√ß j^re've heard he's- lined up a great opening show.

We hope so, especially for the sake of little Mona, Cornel Wilde is one actor from, the Western sector who always seems to be on the "go." He leaves shortly for French Moroc^ co where he'll star in MGM's "Saadia" and when he's completed that role, he hopes to leave for Italy where he plans on producing, and starring in;'.a^gfc>yie version of the life' 'lpiilaar& Byron. Wilde has owned this property for some time and there's no dis^ puting the fact that the Loxd j Byron story would make an'exciting motion picture.
