...tiny figure in tails came toddling to the center of the stage at Manhattan's Carnegie Hall, made a nervous little bow, and sat down almost unobserved at a Steinway the size of Florida. "Give me the Cleveland every time," a critic murmured contentedly to his companion. "Never a lapse in taste, never a bar without breeding!" Even as he spoke the Cleveland Symphony rumbled like a drain in difficulty and belched forth a stentorian blat of brass. Whereupon the tiny man, exploding chords like cannoncrackers, hurled himself upon the piano, and for the next 72 minutes, while...
While the Virginia tax is only $1.50 a year, residents who have not been voting must pay for three years-a total of $5.01 with penalties and interest. Attorney Robert L.

In Companion, Director Philippe de Broca (The Five-Day Lover, The Love Game) again sets light-footed Jean-Pierre Cassel to dancing from escapade to escapade as inoffensively as a hummingbird buzzing the phlox...
...trouble is, Male Companion's script might well have been adapted from the same book. Indolence as a theme leads easily to a certain aimlessness of execution, just as nothingness leads to naught. Director De Broca's spontaneity and Cassel's utter abandon with a throng of acquiescent beauties meet every challenge except the vital one of squeezing triumph out of a trifle...
