...living theatre works just fine until the inevitable ingenue (Ellen Endicott-Jones) upsets all the artificial relationships. Anouilh never has time to exploit The Rehearsal's central conceit for he soon finds himself struggling to protect his ingenue from the cynics that surround her. Hero, the Count's alcoholic friend, takes over and the play sloshes forward lugubriously. Humbert Allen Astredo delineates his drunkenness with sensitivity, but there's just so much Anouilh packed into his long monologues, that he can't help but become tiresome...
...temperature in Quebec City was 10° F., and Princess Grace of Monaco, in town for the annual Winter Carnival and a visit to an old friend, Mrs. Gilles Lamontagne, wife of the mayor, was appropriately cool and collected when newsmen collared her for some comments. On the problem of raising bilingual children (French and English): "I'm still waiting for someone to write a handbook on it." On the trials of being an exactress: she finds it "flattering" to receive film offers but politely declines them. As for films in general: "I'm awfully tired of seeing...
...Mike Nichols and Elaine May. The singers were Buddy Greco and Johnny Janis. Janis made history of sorts by being the first singer to perform at the Chicago Playboy Club, an honor from which he has never quite recovered. For cerebral chatter, there was Columnist Max Lerner, an old friend of Hef s. The conversation turned out badly.

How do you like the way it's developing?") were...
...prissy first officer (Billy De Wolfe). The boat is shipshape; the gags are strictly for the scrapyard. Sheldon Leonard, a producer with, as they say, a good track record (The Dick Van Dyke Show, I Spy), has brought in a very usual and savorless crime series called My Friend Tony (NBC). He may have undone himself in attempting to reduce the violence. The hero is a stodgy professor of criminology (James Whitmore); his inevitable sidekick, Tony (Enzo Cerusico), is a cross between Kookie of 77 Sunset Strip and Chester of Gunsmoke. He doesn't limp like Chester; he just...
...lived in Greece, visiting the U.S. for holidays and Republican campaigns. His only son Charles, 33, is an investment broker in Boston. In Athens, Tom Pappas plots his moves in an office overlooking Athens' Constitution Square. Athenians commonly believe the many legends about him-that he told his friend "Dick" to pick Agnew, that he is the CIA chief in Greece. As he moves through the streets of Athens, perpetually patting children's heads and squeezing hands, people often stop him to ask favors, like securing the release of political prisoners. Pappas helps when he can, which...
