THE story of Dawn
Addams and her Prince is a fairy tale told by a cynic. And, of course, it does not have
a happy ending.
The four-year-old marriage
of Miss Addams and Prince
Vittorio Massimo has ended in
an atmosphere of scrimony and publicity.
The Prince is reported to have said he would tell their three- year-old son Stefane that his mother was dead. Mise Addams was reported in the Italian newspapers to be playing to kidnap her soil.

SINATRA
IN HIS LATEST
IN SEARCH OF UNSELFISH LOVE
FRANK SINATRA'S newest role is that of a
man in search of an unselfish love. It is called: "Some Came Running."
Playing a pugnacious, cynical author Sinutra finds his search climaxing with violence. In the picture above it may seem that he is just sitting back watching Shirley MacLaine. In the scene he was thrown there during a gunfight.
