* This bit of business, a spur-of-the-moment invention by Bogart, set off one of the many minor crises that developed during the shooting of The Caine Mutiny. Commander James C. Shaw, a World War II naval hero (Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima) who put in a 10½-month tour as technical adviser on the movie, objected to it immediately on the theory that an Annapolis man would never butter a whole piece of toast but would first break it into fragments. "I went to school at Andover," huffed Bogart indignantly. "Are you trying to tell me that Annapolis turns out better gentlemen than Phillips Academy?" Shooting stopped until Producer Kramer solved the dilemma by trimming the crusts off the toast and reducing it partially in size, thus satisfying both parties to the argument.
* Another veteran cinemactor, 50-year-old Lloyd Nolan, will have a share of that immortality. As the Queeg of Author Wouk's incisive The Caine Mutiny Court Martial, now playing S.R.O. on Broadway, Nolan gives a comparably brilliant performance, last week was voted "best actor" of the 1953-54 season in Variety's annual poll of Manhattan drama critics.
* His first two wives: Broadway Actresses Helen Menken (1922-27) and Mary Phillips (1928-37).
