D. 215,006 JUN 11 1953 EDITHGWYNN'S BUCHAN&N GETS RAVES Groucho Marx was operated on yesterday at Cedars. Not serious. He's okay. Maggie McNamara, who hasn't started her new 20th-Fox deal yet, is on suspension already! Details anon. "Band Wagon" is bowing around the country with raves for Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse and Jack Buchanan already recorded in many spots. Some will undoubtedly hail Buchanan (a huge hit in the film) as "a new find." Forgetting (or never having known) that this seasoned actor-dancer was a top stage star 25 years ago! If you caught lithe and lubber Jack on that Bob Hope TVer, you'll scarce believe he's 61. Yep, 61 years young! And about to sign with Metro to costar with F. Astaire and Gene Kelly in a future musical. A chum of ours kidded Buchanan, "Yon don't dance like you used to." Jack laughed, "I don't do ANYTHING like I used to!" ?╜TjhiSJ?.r*?f?
