...clear that you have chosen to act as apologist for Lee Falk's now defunct Boston Summer Theatre, and, more especially, for the Group 20 Players at Wellesley, now in their sixth season. I have no intention of taking one side or another in any conflict between the C.D.F. and Group 20; as a journalistic critic, I have been to see and/or review almost all the summer play productions in the area for a good number of years, and my admiration for the impressive roster of achievements by both these groups is strong.

When he takes his girl friend to Bermuda (this at 17 or so), he does not buy the island, but, next best, he rents a taxi for the entire stay and wins a samba tournament. ''They were something!'' an onlooker reports breathlessly. "She always wore blue, and Lee always wore...
Anatomy of a Murder. Producer-Director Otto Preminger's brilliant courtroom drama involving murder, rape and outspoken language about both. James Stewart as a deceptively easygoing lawyer and Lee Remick as an accident-prone tart are excellent, but famed Boston Lawyer Joseph N. Welch steals the show as the judge...
