...Bell Telephone science shows had to move over to NBC. Splashiest of all will probably be The Du Pont Show of the Month, offering ten 90-minute spectaculars: Paul Gregory's Crescendo, a mishmash of American music with Ethel Merman, Rex Harrison, Louis Armstrong, Carol Channing and Peggy Lee; Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper; a musical edition of Junior Miss; and a Cole PorterS. J. Perelman musicollaboration on Alladin. To plug the Ford Motor Co.'s new Edsel, Crooners Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra will team up for the first time...
...Holy Macirony . . ." Last week Art Student Gwendolyn Bannister, 22, and Olympic Track Star Lee Calhoun, 24, were one of five couples joined together, as the show's prize blooper went, "in holy macirony."

"Strasberg sees the theatre from the point of view of the idealist, and has quite an unrealistic picture of what the medium of the theatre actually is. He seems to be under the impression that the theatre has something to do with life--by citing for us the French company of Cannes and the classic theatre of Japan, two schools that have nothing to do with 'method' acting. To say that the goal of acting is a perfect photograph of human behavior...
Finally, a word of thanks to producer Lee Falk for his new policy of presenting only plays of high quality. I hope the box office returns will encourage him to continue this policy next summer. His current efforts have done much to make this the most outstanding summer theatre season that Boston has had within my memory...
