...That Lady? scarcely skirts the standard pitfall of the comedy of errors: i.e., as the errors multiply, the comedy divides and dwindles. But Lady's trio of nimble headliners foot the measures of Producer-Writer Norman Krasna's so-so script trippingly. Dean Martin neatly blends tomfoolery and tomcattery. Except for the initial spat, real life Husband-and-Wife Team Curtis and Leigh nibble at each other as voraciously as if they were hors d'oeuvres at a cannibal cocktail party. The assorted nonsense will probably irk no one except college faculty wives, who may find...
...nation's TV football fans spent the afternoon frantically flicking from the Colts-Forty-Niners game on CBS to NBC, where undefeated Syracuse, intent on disproving the taunt that it had played only so-so opposition, was busy wrecking a U.C.L.A. team that had upended high ranking Southern California two weeks earlier. The game was never even close. Syracuse's "Sizable Seven" linemen (average weight: 216 lbs.) scornfully brushed aside U.C.L.A.'s specially designed trap plays, held U.C.L.A.'s offense to a humiliating minus 13 yds. on the ground.

A so-so player for ten years in Hollywood, Burr closed in on Mason with the tenacity of a man who has landed the big role at last. He studied courtroom procedure, lectured to lawyers' groups even insists that he really wants to get a law degree. It seems...
...Memorial Hall and pulling off his gloves to scramble for the nickels and dimes that were tossed into the ring. By 1952, Bantamweight Moore was good enough to win the A.A.U. title, reach the quarter-finals of the Olympics. Turning pro the next year, Moore seemed to be only a so-so fighter until 1957, when he suddenly came alive, has since won 15 straight...
...works apiece. I particularly admired Kahlil Gibran's "Pieta," Peter Grippe's "King Minos Number 2," Liliam Saarinen's "Portrait of an Author" (whom I took to be Edwin O'Connor, author of the novel The Last Hurrah), and the items by Henry Kreis and Robert Lamb. Donald Stoltenberg's so-so "Shipyard Cranes" won the $500 Invitational Award for Sculpture or Painting; and Gilbert Franklin's appealing "Beach Figure" captured the Festival's $1000 Grand Prize...
