Nothing of the sort can be said for anyone else in the cast, though John Lasell as Jack and Wendell Clark as Algy do some nice things after they have gotten over their first-act stiffness. Mr. Lasell has no sense of Jack's earnestness, his utterly sincere hypocrisy, his damnable stuffiness; Mr. Clark copes somewhat better with Algy, but cannot quite hit off his incorrigibly cheeky lightmindedness. As a result, they appear as a set of almost interchangeably cheerful young men. Gretchen Kanne misses the hothouse bloom of Gwendolyn, who exists in and through Society like an elegant bacterium...
...unconcerned. Said he: "The folks back home in Iowa will understand." Last week enough mail had flooded Carter's Washington office to make it clear that folks back home did not understand at all. As a consequence, Carter made his maiden House speech, apologized if he had cast reflections on Congress, announced son Steven was taking a pay cut to $6,402.

Together, Pettit and Hagan form the most fearsome one-two scoring punch since the days when Mikan...
Belafonte was the first Negro to perform in such plush nightspots as the Eden Roc in Miami and the Palmer House in Chicago. He is the only American Negro to be cast in a romantic movie role opposite a white actress (Joan Fontaine in Island in the Sun). He has not only crossed some color lines, but a great many other lines as well. His appeal is remarkably independent of age or sex. In a recent concert in Pittsburgh, he packed the hall with steelworkers. symphony patrons, bobby-soxers and schoolchildren. When he toured Europe last summer for the first...
Playhouse 90 (CBS, 9:30-11 p.m.). The Dingaling Girl by Playwright J. P. Miller (who made a name for himself with The Days of Wine and Roses last year) is a new treatment of the old tale about a shy young housewife catapulted to Hollywood stardom. In the cast: Diane Varsi as the modest heroine, Sam Jaffe as the shrewd director, Eddie Albert as the poor but ambitious husband...
