...catnip-to-the-ladies' performance as Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady suggested that a middle-aged professor could have sex appeal. So it was only fitting that the profession should finally award Rex Harrison, 65, an academic degree, a Doctorate of Humane Letters from Boston University. But Rex is not the only performer-scholar in the family. In London, Granddaughter Cathy Harrison, 14, is piling up theatrical credits, even as she studies for school exams. Cathy has appeared in two movies, including Robert Altman's Images, and in a TV drama series. Now, she says...

...scene she will unzip the sirensuit, revealing herself in a flesh-colored body stocking, before climbing into a high-necked, bead-studded sheath. Offstage, the pneumatic star claims to prefer cover-up clothes. Still, when she showed up in Manhattan last week at Warlock Rex Reed's party for Film Maker Eleanor Perry, Ann-Margret must have known she would be on-camera, so she wore a costume she is comfortable in: a turban, pants, sable coat and the top of one of her bikinis...

...Rex Everhart is splendid in his one comic cameo as the drunken Porter. Coleridge thought this scene spurious, but it is genuine Shakespeare and inspired dramaturgy. After murdering Duncan, Macbeth hears the chilling pounding at the gate and has second thoughts: "Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst!" How follow such a climactic moment? Shakespeare's solution was perfect. The only comparable spot I can think of occurs in the finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, when the full chorus climaxes thrillingly with words about "standing before God," and is followed by the ludicrously syncopated sounds...

Rick Wakeman mastered classical music at the Royal College of Music and rock as a keyboard sideman for such pop luminaries as Cat Stevens, T. Rex and David Bowie.

...would help. As her sidekicks Mrs. Dainty Fidget and Mrs. Squeamish, Grayce Grant and Joan Pape provide their quota of amusement. Curt Dawson and Ronald Frazier (who likes to smoke a long clay pipe) are a trifle bland as Harcourt and Dorilant, two gallants who envy Horner's success. Rex Everhart, as Sir Jasper, is foolish enough but lacks class, and should be told that the game is blindman's-buff, not blindman's-bluff. David Rounds, with beauty spots on his right chin and left cheek, has great fun with the role of Sparkish...
