...behind, with production of its standard-sized Galaxie barely topping 400,000. (Counting all models, Ford has produced 842,000 cars since January, v. 1,300,000 for Chevy.) At the bottom of the heap among the Big Three is Chrysler, whose production of four low-priced lines (Plymouth, Valiant, Dodge Dart and Lancer) adds up to only 288,000 cars so far in 1962-just ahead of the 282,000 Ramblers produced by American Motors. But despite its reduced share of the auto market, Chrysler still had cause for rejoicing last week. Thanks largely to lower costs achieved...
Attempting the feat here is Richard Basehart, whose work has been mainly in the cinema. His is an honest, valiant effort; and much of Richard comes through, though a complete Richard eludes him. At the opening performance, he often spoke too softly, but I trust he has better guaged the acoustics of the theater by now.

The Pay Pause, as it was christened, saved British industry the equivalent of one year's round of wage boosts, giving Britain an immediate edge over leading European competitors such as West Germany, which has been hit with a heavy increase in labor costs over the past year...
David Fairchild has made a valiant effort to hack out a set in the Common Room, but the split tableau has an unfinished look that is probably not intentional. The lighting arrangement is fine as a concept; hopefully, the effects will be better executed than they were last night. It is evidently quite hard to exit from the stage, and there were several embarrassing waits last night, both between and during scenes...
