Bergerac will now work as late into the night as may be required at the Revlon headquarters in Manhattan's General Motors Building (known as General Odors because several cosmetics firms are perched there). But he believes that "if one gets completely immersed in work seven days a week, one loses his balance and that is not good." So he insists on leaving weekends free to take his wife and daughter Mary Jennifer, 20,* to the theater or to his 300-acre Fox Ridge Farm in upstate New York. There, Bergerac has surrounded himself with a menagerie: dogs, ducks, goats...
...advertising budget, to some $135 million this year, and developed a merchandising program called Retail Partners, under which Revlon designs displays and provides promotional materials for stores to encourage them to put on splashy shows. One for Bordeaux lipstick, nail polish and other cosmetics took a whole floor of Manhattan's Bonwit Teller; Revlon supplied books on wine and even old wine barrels to show off.

Freddie chose the latter, and off will go Lifeline, Sword of Justice, Dick Clark's Live Wednesday, Eddie Capra Mysteries, Grandpa Goes to Washington, Who's Watching the Kids? and David Cassidy-Man Under Cover. An old show, Project U.F.O. will also be dropped. Two programs, W.E.B. and Waverly Wonders had earlier been dispatched to Silverman Hill...
...this, his 119th production. No one can move actors around faster, get more laughs out of a joke or slide so gracefully over a play's weak spots. The bad news is that the weak spots in Winning Isn't Everything, which opened last week at Manhattan's Hudson Guild Theater, are more like potholes, and even Abbott and an able cast occasionally stumble...
