...Charles has done beautiful things with the great possibilities for humor and anguish that do exist in Poet. Leigh Warton is superb as Cornelius Melody--the role brings out the qualities in any versatile actor. Katherine Squire plays his wife Nora with a simplicity that suggests deep understanding of her role. As Sara, Miss Alexander has the most demanding job, and particularly in the third act she is wonderful. But her accent is too American--it lies nowhere between her father's aristocratic tone and her mother's brogue--and some of her movements are not fitting...
...least three CBS comedies have no need of the machine. Judging by its premiere, Many Happy Returns is the season's best new show. As is generally the case with successful TV series, it is the principal actor who makes the difference. In this case, it is John McGiver, the balding fellow who waited on Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's and whose concise, precise portrayals have lightened other films from Love in the Afternoon to The Manchurian Candidate.

As Will Stockdale, Actor Sammy Jackson ought to make it. Guys pick fights with him and drive their fists against his stomach again and again while he just stands there smiling. Reveille is at 6 a.m., he learned when he started basic last week. "I ain't going to get up that late for nobody...
Narrow as an arrow but fetching as an etching, Geraldine Chaplin, 20, Charlie's unmatched little girl, paired herself off with British Actor Richard Johnson, 36, for a romp about Chilham Castle in England, where Johnson is playing Kim Novak's leading man in Paramount's production of The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders. "I think he's the most marvelous man," Geraldine rejoiced. "We're very fond of each other-it's obvious, isn't it?" Johnson responded. But, he added, there is "no question of an engagement-at least at this...
