    In terms of originality and inventiveness, January 12th 1960 will forever stand as an indelicate date on the entertainment calendar. Not because Emile Ford and the Checkmates were topping the charts with 'What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For'. Not because "Tommy the Toreador" was doing the rounds across the U.K. And not because the strong arm crooner Don Arden was busy emceeing the Gene Vincent Show on...

    They've gone, they've skedaddled. So huzzah! Let the joybells ring, because those indeterminate world-leaders, tub-thumpers and Foreign Office types who've been in New York for the United Nations' Annual General Assembly, have finally left the building. Allow me to explain. The Colmans happen to live in Turtle Bay, a delightful little neighourhood that is within spitting distance of the United Nations complex. Popular spots include the Katharine Hepburn Memorial Garden,...

    Following a long and successful run in Chicago, "Million Dollar Quartet" is about to open at the Nederlander Theatre on Broadway and West 41st Street. Yours truly went along to attend a preview and like the rest of the packed house, I came out totally blown away.

    Of late, the Ed Sullivan Theatre at 1697-1699 Broadway has been subjected to a level of interest not seen since the days when Elvis Presley appeared there in the fifties and the Beatles in the sixties. The venerable venue first made headlines after it opened as Hammerstein's Theater back in November 1927.
