Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit becomes High Spirits, with Coward directing and Edward Woodward, Tammy Grimes and Beatrice Lillie carrying the tunes (March 31). Coward has also done the music and lyrics for The Girl...

When his reporters came back to report failure on an assignment, he wordlessly drew from his desk drawer a Sherlock Holmes deerstalker cap, bulldog pipe and magnifying glass, and snooped around the floor on his knees, as if searching for a lost trail. To an upstate Tribune correspondent whose copy stood in sore need of punctuation, Walker sent a full page of commas. His ways were not without their effect...
