m t e 'TiJanlcC ? Last night, all of Broadway was astounded by the elaborate opening of Durpo DiRaddo’s new Pyramid Club. Since Vi and I had gilt - edged invitations, our boss sent us to cover the opening. This club is one of the most remarkable the Big Town has ever seen in years. This is chiefly be- cause of the interior decorating, which was done by that famous trio of decorators: Tom Murphy, Betty Dreher and Pat Ritter. It is a miniature of the pyramids of Egypt. Durpo met us at the door and accompanied us while we made the rounds of the tables, interviewing the many celebrities. Stopping at one of the tables we talked to Bernie Updike, head of the Updike Model Agency, who was there with one of his models, Mamie Catalano, recently named Miss Personality Plus.” With them were Mary Fran Lynch, a former model, and her husband Bob McLane, the author of the best seller, I Married a Model.” At the next table we met Rita Newmiller, the Doughnut Queen of America, who invented the doughnut with two holes. Accom- panying her was her husband, Dick Maher, who perfected the new aerialess television set. Seated with them were Jane Quigley and Nancy Fera, two of the best dressed women of the year, who attributed their triumph to Pat Reeder and Pat Brown. These two noted fashion designers have just returned from Paris, where their dramatic creations have made the headlines. Moving on, we sighted some Broadway stars and went over to their table. Eileen Sullivan, the star of the hit musical North Atlantic,” was there with her new leading man, John Sullivan, the Ezio Pinza of today. With them were Mary and Margaret McWil- liams, the authors of the play and the backers of the show; Tina Cannuli, the steel heiress and Dot Linehan who inherited a chain of drug stores from her uncle. Also seated at their table were Martha Nagle, editor of the magazine On the Spot” and that new dy- namic comedian, Buzzy Coblio, hailed by the critics as a new, liv- lier Milton Berle. We left their table and went around a pyramid and then came upon a group calling themselves The United Bachelors of Amer- ica.” Among its members who thus far have avoided matrimony are Joe Lahr, who is celebrating the publishing of his newest book Silence is Golden” and Senator Frank Snowney who set a new rec- ord for the longest filibuster in Congress. Its president, Johnny DeRaddo and vice-president, Jim- mie Conroy, are working on a new labor saving device for their com- pany, The Labor Savers of America.” As we were about to move on, Dom Bruno and Gabe Bruni, new athletic coaches of Notre Dame walked in. With them was Mike McDonald, the manager of the Notre Dame team. They stopped to chat for a min- ute and then joined Joe Marino and Skippy Damico at their table. Joe and Skippy are in charge of the National Society for the Pre- vention of Juvenile Delinquency. Also seated with them was big- game hunter Wedgie Wright who recently returned from an expedi- tion to Africa. Just then the lights began to dim and we hurried to a nearby table. The featured attraction of the floor show was Rody Felicetti, a blues’ singer, who sang the new hit, Why Won’t You Love Me,” written by Sarah Bolton. After her number, Tommy Damick’s band played several pieces ending with a number featuring a solo on the trumpet by Carmen Libera- tore. Then the M.C. introduced a new comedy team, Chilbert and Chiarilli, who have Martin and Louis beat by a mile. When the lights went up, we found ourselves seated with some very famous and charming wo- men. Among them were Betty Lou Plunkett, the hair stylist of the year; Patricia Flynn, the dean of Syracuse University; Cookie Hefferon and Marcy DeWitt; or- ganizers of the Baby Sitter’s Union; and Betty Seymour, su- perintendent of nurses at Bellevue Hospital here in New York. We talked for quite a while before go- ing to the next table. 26
