...opera, based on an Elizabeth Enright story, almost jolted the overflow (1,300) audience out of their seats, left them applauding wildly. Composer Bucci's score was lushly melodic, reminiscent in the sweeping emotional climaxes of both Puccini and Menotti, and pricked by dissonances which underscored the shrill chatter of Laura and Tracy...
...protested that Bloomgarden had also given a noun, "coccyx," instead of the adjective "coccygeal." Either both contestants were right or both were wrong. Editors of the Encyclopaedia Britannica admitted to an inconsistency in the quiz answers that they had approved for the show. Barry and Co-Producer Dan Enright put heads together, agreed that both contestants had missed, and called for a rematch-again at $3,500 a point-next week (Mon. 9 p.m. E.D.T.). Although Bloomgarden must relinquish claim on last week's pot, he gets a guarantee from the sponsor (Geritol) that even if he loses...
...Champagne for Caesar, Ronald Colman played an omniscient scholar who almost wins a quiz-show sponsor's $40 million soap company.

He looked so promising that the producers put him on Twenty One. But Charlie's dream has come true with some nightmarish side effects. "Here I am with all this money and celebrity," he lamented last week, "but I don't have the time or appetite...
...Doren will go on gambling on TV but whether his whole career may-not be about to veer again. His celebrity has drawn a swarm of offers: to appear on TV as guest star, panelist, moderator of his own series, to edit almanacs and write magazine articles. Barry & Enright want him to join them later as a consultant, and NBC is preparing to make him an offer as a performer. Says Charlie: "Everybody in the world knows what I should do except me. Before last November, I knew I wanted to teach and to write. But that acting experience [when...
