...black, and occasionally blue, content, Entertaining Mr. Sloane is an absorbing comedy. Joe Orton spoon feeds his audience shock and grotesquerie, he doesn't throw it in their face. He uses an acute comic talent to show how people lose themselves in petty, selfish, and deviate concerns. The playwright has taken the time he is serving at a leading London prison to construct a careful play which grows progressively grotesque as the characters perceive and accommodate each other's desires...
Says Staughton Lynd: "The key question is whether the movement will grow beyond its student base and produce men who will carry their radicalism into middle age and beyond." The New Left leaders are afraid of the American talent for assimilating dissent-and this is already happening to some of their ideas.

Against the San Francisco Giants last week, Maris collected two hits and scored the winning run in a 2-1 St. Louis victory. "I feel great," said Roger. "A new place, that's been...
Putty Face. And so, ad agencies are raiding Central Casting and even scouring the streets to find talented faces that are, as Talent Agent Bill Cunningham puts it, "not offensively attractive." If an actor is cursed with a pretty face, Cunningham advises him to go to casting calls "looking frumpy." But not even messed-up hair and baggy clothes can disguise a Beautiful, and more likely than not the job will go to someone like Douglas Paul, a copywriter-turned-actor who has fat, freckles and a grandiose nose. Among Paul's starring roles: an Arrow Shirt commercial...
