Jackie & Jill

Chief guardian of stage morality in Britain is a court officer of the Queen called the Lord Chamberlain. His jaundiced eye fell upon the lyrics of a song scheduled for a forthcoming revue prophetically entitled The Lord Chamberlain Regrets . . . Noting that the song concerns "the wife of a head of state," the Lord Chamberlain ordered the skit deleted, depriving Londoners of a chance of seeing pert Actress Jill Ireland, 24, impersonate Jacqueline Kennedy. The lyrics:

Well, I'm doing my best to be everyone's choice,

Playing Caroline's mother with Marilyn's voice . . .

Yes, since I married Jack, how Dame Fortune has smiled

For his temper is sunny, his outlook is mild,

Though we don't discuss Cuba in front of the child

We shall tell her the facts at 16 . . .

While he fumbles with Russia, I use

all my guile So the press and the public won't guess

for a while He's just Ike dressed up in Madison

Avenue style . . .
