...base stealer in exchange for a couple of young infielders? The best pitcher in all of baseball in 1964, for two mediocre power hitters? The man who broke Babe Ruth's home-run record, for a third baseman who couldn't make the grade with the New York Mets? The way the mighty were falling last week in baseball's trades, Mickey Mantle could wind up in Chicago any day now, in exchange for the Cubs' clubhouse...

And they both have rich, pleasing voices. Richard Backus, as Locket, is the male counterpart of Miss Levine, a slapstick scene stealer with a comically mobile face. Unfortunately awkward, for he seems unsure of himself, stumbling over his lines and stiffly declaiming his songs. Still, he scowls enough to make an adequately evil Peachum...
