...Surgeon Howard Payne House, towheaded Carolyn is almost blind in her left eye (a congenital defect) and wears a contact lens in her right eye. But her eye trouble has never hampered her swimming-or kept her from taking a crack at any other sport that struck her tomboy's fancy. "At seven," says her brother Ken, 22, "she could swim three laps of the family pool underwater without coming up for air. At eight, she played center for both of our neighborhood football teams.

By last week, the Overseas Weekly...
...have been held over from the Broadway production-often seem to be shouting past the spectator, as though still playing from habit to the back row, balcony. Only Actress Dee, as the wife, projects her existence without hollering her head off. Actress Sands, as the sister, has a wonderful tomboy charm and most of the funny lines: "I'm not interested," she bellows at her Nigerian boy friend, "in being somebody's little episode in America."
