...whole performance. John Liller does quite adequate service as the slightly malicious Baby, the ostensible precipitant of all the madness. He is able to neatly upstage the rest of the cast in a couple of their less inspired confrontations just by sitting on a sofa eating mints. Fran Schuman breezed in as an utterly outrageous Madame Chouilloux. In a brief appearance she sustained a totally incredible pose, and had she spent any great amount of time on stage her manner would quickly have become overbearing.

...Fran Riley, public relations chief of the National Secretaries Association, estimates that about half of its 28,000 members view their jobs as steppingstones to higher work in business, and quite a few "have middle management as their goal." In this new atmosphere, secretarial schools are adding courses in accounting, budgeting, personnel training and other semiadministrative functions. "Automation has cut the amount of time that a secretary needs for typing, filing and the like," says Edith Foster, director of instruction for the Katharine Gibbs schools.
