With 1970's (and today's) smog, that extra two miles makes a difference in visibility!

Hedda--showing off her familiarity calling Edward G. Robinson...Eddie Robinson, heh!

Florabell Muir? Calisphere (Hedda's column has an extra "l" in her name.)
Florabel Muir was an American reporter, newspaper columnist and author. She became known for covering both Hollywood celebrities and underworld gangsters from the 1920's through the 1960's.

This Hopper column seems to make it clear that in the Scott Charles invitation, when Sinatra mentions that "we're all going to flee to the Garden of Eden," he's talking about them all going to the preview of "A Hole in the Head" (wherever that was) when they left Puccini.
