(NY27) NEW YORK,June 26—TOLD TO KEEP HER SHIRT ON—Blonde Elaine Stritch, understudy to Ethel Merman in the Broadway hit, “Call Me Madam,” wears halter and shorts which cause her arrest in Central Park. Today she was fined $1 and told by Magistrate Emilio Junes: “A beautiful girl like you could cause a small riot and cause a large crowd to collect by removing your shirt.” “Well,” she replied, “I was there all day and nothing happened.” (APWirephoto) (OB32200dns) (See wire story) (51)

macartney: [At The Mountain Playhouse] I was currently appearing in support of that funniest of ladies and niece of one of America’s first cardinals—young Elaine Stritch… [The founder] imported her “stars” through her connections with New York’s famed Irwin Piscator Institute where she studied with and had become close friends of Stritch and Marlon Brando. [At Sardi’s] Elaine Stritch, representing, all on her own, most of the actresses in Equity, proved once again that she could drink all of us stalwarts under the table and still be the leitmotif of the room. [At Theatre Bar] Stritch would be there with that wonderful raucous cackle of hers dropping one-liners by the bucketload at one end of the counter… [At P.J. Clarke’s] I always had a seat, so I’d usually find myself rustling feathers with a gaggle of fast-living, fun-loving geese. My favourites: Elaine Stritch and Ben Gazzara—a new item and a good rowdy one at that… [At The Palace Bar and Grill] Donald Voorhees, Gene Kelly, Adlai Stevenson, Bernie Hart, Ben Gazzara, Maureen Stapleton and dear Stritch often dropped in and paid their respects. —Christopher Plummer, In Spite of Myself, 2008
