Instead of doing a one-man show as he did nine years ago on Broadway, Borge this time does a kind of one-and-a-half-man show with Leonid Hambro as co-pianist and straight man. Borge sort of excludes him in, and satirizes the egomania of stars by scraping the mike head along the floor like a vacuum cleaner during Hambro's only solo number. Later, in a howling display of virtuosity, the duo intertwine legs, arms and hands and march their fingers up the keyboard in a centipede's version of Liszt's Second...

Unexpected Benefit. An authority on rose growing as well as on banking, Jack Hambro intends henceforth to cultivate fields he knows. Hambros now offers package plans for Scandinavia in which the bank handles all arrangements for British investors from plane tickets to plant location. It is also capitalizing on Britain's exclusion from the Common Market. "The failure to go in," says Hambro, "has created lots of problems we can help solve. We always say our advice is free until somebody makes a profit." Once that happens, Hambros is not too princely to hold out its hand...
