...West Coast. Since forming his own trio last May, he has made one swinging LP, Arrival of a Young Giant (World Pacific), and on a single day last July he appeared on three major network programs: Showcase '68, the Today show and Johnny Carson. He was a smash at the Hollywood Bowl and the Monterey Jazz Festival. Last week the Craig Hundley Trio * set off on a tour of the Midwest with Singer Johnny Mathis and his band. As they say in show biz, Craig Hundley is on a hot roll...
...original cast means Jim Garner, 39, a Tennessee-born ex-radio actor and program director, who scored another smash success last season in the title role of Atlanta's production of MacBird.

When Alda final ly takes the field to re-enact...
...scene before that his father will surely open his safe and count his money at three in the morning, it's hard to believe that even super-capitalist Ed would actually get out of bed to do this. During the robbery attempt, as one of the boys tries to smash Ed on the back of the head with a bottle, the victim pulls out a gun and fires it into the air. This quick thinking seems a bit too quick, for my money. The three black boys then run out, and, just as Paul gets to the door to escape...
