Description

The original release sheet reads: QUADRICENTENNIAL OF SHAKESPEARE No need for full-blooded ballyhoo when it comes to Shakeapeare ....it is a name that speaks for itself. All around the world the 400th Birthday Anniversary of William Shakespeare is being honored. The actual date: April 26. But the celebrations will continue for months. Dignitaries from 115 nations gather in Stratford-On-Avon to pay homage to the Bard .... whether he is known as William, Billy or Will, Shakespeare remains one of the greatest names in literature. DOGGIES FOLLOW PHOTO EXHIBIT The canine crowd make no bones about their likes and dislikes at a preview exhibition of dog pictures in Warsaw, Poland. They couldn't recognize a Goya but they know what's new in the world of doggy art. SUMMER (IT SAYS HERE) HAT FASHIONS Sloshily bad weather in Britain, but that does not let them stop this unveiling of hat fashions for summer time. They are beautiful. If only the weather harmonized. WHO EATS THE LION 'S SHARE Tony Randall has just completed "SEND ME NO FLOWERS" - but they send him a dandy-lion just the same. He's "Fluffy", a 500-pounder who lunches with Tony as he (the lion, natch!) seeks to shed weight for his appearance in a new film with Mr. Randall. SPORTS TOP RIDERS VIE IN BRITAIN At Radminten, England the Queen Mother attends the try-outs an the Nationals top riders and the best mounts compete in this most noted meet in the equestrian.
