TONIGHT FECHTOR will give an hour-and-a-half one-man performance on the Loeb mainstage. The program includes pieces such as Tug of War, Suicide, The Piano Mover, The Kite, The Room and The Creation of the World.

...networks are also persisting in the reverse alchemy that so often has turned movie gold into weekly dross. An hour-and-a-half round robin of mystery shows on NBC will include Richard Widmark in a series called Madigan, adapted from the 1968 detective film in which he starred. On CBS, MASH, the grisly 1970 comedy about a troupe of Army surgeons in Korea, is becoming a half-hour situation comedy starring Alan Alda...
