OSCAR FOR OSCILLATION?

Remember the way Tallulah
Bankhead kissed John Kodiak in
last seasons "Lifeboat"? 1t all but
melted the celluloid. Well, the
lady is at it again, which leads us
to believe that the fine art of kiss
ing has returned to the screen. AS
Catherine the Great in the film "a
Royal Scandal" Tallulah takes a
sudden liking to a rugged young
lieutenant of hussars, played by
William Eythe. Liking him, she
kisses him. Lingeringly. With
passionate tenderness. He comes
out of the kiss dazed-it says in the
script. Tallulah will make it be-
lieVable.
