Guest list for Mike Todd's Around the World in 80 Days premiere party, Saturday night, December 22, 1956.

Mr. Todd's elaborate soiré was a buffet divided into six national themes, English, French, Spanish, Indian, Japanese, and American. The list, printed on the back of the menu, indicates the area in which the guests were to be seated. Typical of Todd, the seating arrangements were a sham, just giving him an excuse to print the names of the luminaries that were in attendance. Printed in red type over the list of names was this "impromptu" note:
I just returned from barnstorming and found this printed up. I don't like telling people where to sit, this makes for complications—so grab the section you like best either because of the groceries, or the decor, or the people—any or all. In other words pay no attention to the country opposite your name. Go to whatever section you like—you may even mingle a little bit—but most important have fun, especially if you enjoyed the show.

If you didn't like the show were you supposed to not have fun, or choke on the groceries? Married ladies' names were not on the list, their invitations came in their husband's names. You'll note that Mrs. Humphrey Bogart, Mrs. Victor Young, and Mrs. Robert Newton are listed because all of their husbands had just recently passed away.
