Mr.. Erwin home. We ran into them
by chance In Ye Boston Ritz's high
tea parlor, the gathering place for

the studios with a plate OF spaghetti
on his head. (This was in Have a

his blond and beautiful wife. They're
enjoying their first personal appear

with it. This week they're in New
York at the State. Soon after they
should be here.
