PAVILION, SELSE.Y A WRITER for a TV commercials agency who is suddenly made a national figure when a voluptuous film actress stages a fake romance with him is the central figure in "OH, FOR A MAN," starring Jayne Mansfield and Tony Randall. One of the most fascinating pictures Hollywood has ever made, "MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES" is the life-story of Lon Chaney, one of the film capital's greatest-ever personalities. He is portrayed by James Cagney, who reaches new dramatic heights as the man twisted in mind and body but able to bring laughter to millions. David Niven and June Allyson are a great comedy team in "MY MAN GODFREY," a film which pokes fun at New York's Upper Set. Niven portrays Godfrey, found bearded and unkempt under a dockland bridge by socialite Irene Bullock—played by Miss Allyson. He takes the position of a family butler, and then embarks upon the craziest period in his colourful life.
