The private life subject is
one on which Actor Holden
feels particularly vehement at
the moment. After years of
serene aloofness to the gossips,
Holden found his name linked
with that of Grace Kelly in a

There's some box Office sup

"Only 5 per cent Of the
shows that arrive get unani-

There's an increasing trend
toward split decisions. The

arriving.
The latter event will be
highlighted by the first triple

dancing performances of two
renowned male stars hitherto
noted only for their emoting
and/or singing: Ezio Pima
and Walter Slezak.
First to arrive will be Alfred
Lunt and Lynn Fontanne at
the Coronet Theater Wednes-
day in. Noel Coward's roman
tic comedy, "Quadrille."
Without doubt the most sue
cessful acting couple on the
boards today, the Lunts have
an apparently infallible for
mula for keeping theatergoers
content. Almost continuously
active together for 30 years.
they have required only %
scripts (including "Quadrille")
to entertain about II million

The night after "Quadrille,"
the Broadway spotlight will be
