NO 'APPLAUSE' ROLE FOR RITA HAYWORTH
Rita Hayworth will not be the summer replacement for Lauren Bacall in the Broadway hit musical "Applause." The noted film actress,
who had been scheduled to take over the star role as Margo Channing, the aging Broadway actress, on July 19, notified the producers
