Unhappily, Charlotte's husband (Dan O'Herlihy), a college professor who is usually summed up by those who know him best and like him least as a "stuffed shirt," feels pretty much the same way. He has long since fallen out of love with his wife, but he is glumly prepared to make the best of a bad bargain. After all, a divorce would undoubtedly be harmful to his career. So he sleeps in another room, and punishes her in a thousand small unconscious ways for giving him a guilty conscience, and for keeping him from the woman...
...peons of praise-a little adman who wants to become a big adman. He is the main character of A Twist of Lemon (Doubleday; $3.95), a Madison Avenue novel by Adman (Dancer-Fitzgerald-Sample, Inc.)

After a subtle start in the lecture hall, it soon spread to laboratories, tutorials and the stacks of Widener. From the academic it moved to the social and extracurricular, and just recently many undergraduate organizations have given...
...Pleasure of His Company (by Samuel Taylor, with Cornelia Otis Skinner) is the first suavely managed drawing-room comedy in several seasons. With Actress Skinner's help, Playwright Taylor-on whose shoulders, more than anyone else's, has fallen the opera cape of the late Philip Barry-has contrived a bright tale of the prodigal father who, turning up for his daughter's wedding, turns everything around him upside down. And Cyril Ritchard, on whose shoulders have fallen both acting the prodigal and directing the play, has added greatly to the gloss...
