...Terence Rattigan. Last season Charles Boyer starred in Lord Pengo, a tracing-paper-thin characterization of Art Wheeler-Dealer Jo seph Duveen. Boyer was slyly fascinating; the play provoked yawns. In Man and Boy, Boyer plays Gregor Antonescu, a blurry blotting-pad version of the 20th century's master swindler, Ivar Kreuger. Boyer makes a charming cad; the play is a jaw-aching bore. If the evening proves anything, it is merely that actors who are graded 100 for talent sometimes get zero for judgment...
...Tony Richardson (Sept. 25). Jean Anouilh's The Rehearsal, is about a count who democratically seduces a young nursemaid only to encounter the rage of both his wife and mistress for betraying his class (Sept. 23). British Playwright Terence Rattigan's Man and Boy stars Charles Boyer as a Wall Street operator who creeps off to Greenwich Village to live in the pad of his apostate son during the Depression (Nov. 12). Arnold Wesker's Chips with Everything, hugely successful in London, deals with the operation of the class system in the R.A.F. (Oct. 1). Sidney Michael...

It's never outside or inside." All in all, agrees St. Louis Cardinals' Slugger Ken Boyer, "Koufax is just too damned much...
...friends. Willie Mays, despite a miserable .221 year, will be in center, and Hank Aaron (.318) is in right. Tommy Davis (.335) completes what is clearly the superior outfield. Julian Javier (.277) at second is a surprise, but then League has a dearth of really good second sackers, Ken Boyer (.311) is easily the best third baseman in the business, and Bill White (.328) is a superb first baseman in a League which has a lot of excellent ones. Dick Groat (.325) at short and Ed Bailey (.252) behind the plate are adequate, if not quite stellar...
