...leading roles, the producers cast the two Broadway originals: Lee J. Cobb as Willy and Mildred Dunnock as his wife Linda. They knew their parts by heart-and by body. Since her debut in the part, Dunnock's hair had turned grey and she had become a grandmother; the lines on her face were real; her poignancy and power were all the more effective for her age. Cobb, now 54, had played the part so memorably (330 times) on Broadway that he and Willy have become nearly indistinguishable. Even on TV's western series, The Virginian, he seemed...
...modest bungalow in Claremont, Calif. With the income from her album, she has set up a medical trust fund for her husband, who is confined to a rest home. Her friends, she says happily, are surprised at her success. Just six years ago, when she made her debut recital at the local Baptist church, only six hardy souls turned out to hear her program of sacred songs. The fortunes of Mrs. Miller began to change when she began making recordings at her own expense, "just for the ducks of it." Her accompanist somehow induced a disk jockey to play...

...slim, tense 24-year-old makes his American debut at Carnegie Hall with the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 in B Flat Minor. The conductor, Sir Thomas Beecham, takes the tempo slowly, deliberately. Horowitz's fingers are like coiled springs of Russian steel; they tear with trip-hammer speed and force across the keys, and in the last movement he arrives at the end four measures ahead of the orchestra. The audience roars its affection for the impatient pianist; it is the beginning of a lifelong affair. Even the crusty Beecham cracks a smile. Paderewski calls Horowitz the best...
...three men in the middle of the lineup all carded 79's to split their two matches. Bill Coleman, a senior making his debut at fifth position, knocked off his Brandeis foe but bowed to Holy Cross...
