...telephone switchboards were still jammed with protesting callers when the very next night Not So Much put on a tasteless skit turning the love story of the Duke of Windsor's 1937 marriage to Wallis Warfield Simpson into a sentimental-silly comic operetta. Unluckily it happened to coincide with the sudden death of the Duke's sister, the Princess Royal, and the nation was outraged. With that last straw, Sir Hugh quietly announced that Not So Much a Programme would be, as of next week...
Flipping a Fillip. Baltimore was double-teaming Cleveland's Split End Paul Warfield, so Collins had only one man to beat. Midway in the third quarter, he did a fancy little two-step, left Colt Defender Jerry Logan sprawled on the turf, gathered in a picture pass from Ryan for 42 yds. and another TD. Lou Groza boosted the score to 20-0 with his second field goal. In the fourth quarter, Collins added the final fillip-reaching back over his shoulder to pull in another wonderful 41-yd. pass at the 10, shrugging Defensive Halfback Bobby Boyd...
...HALFBACKS: Mel Renfro, 22, Oregon, 6 ft., 195 lbs.; and Paul Warfield, 20, Ohio State, 6 ft., 178 lbs. "The days of the pony back are over," says one scout. "And by pony I mean everyone weighing much under 200 lbs. With these big defensive lines, you have to run big, fast bull elephants." Oregon's Renfro is just what the zoologist ordered. He runs the high hurdles, is a 9.7-sec. dash man, plows into tacklers "with reckless abandon and no regard for his personal safety." Ohio State's Warfield will have to put on pounds...
PORGY AND BESS (RCA Victor) is another case of too much cake for the oven -this time with Leontyne Price towering over both score (excerpted songs) and cast (William Warfield, McHenry Boat-wright). The recording is rich, the singing is fine, and the livin' is easy-at least for those who can bear the thought of Price singing under Skitch Henderson's baton...
...remaining disquaires are generally less inspired than Warfield, but their ranks are deep and growing. France has at least 200 discothèques, and the Jet Set has spawned carbon copies in Manhattan, providing ample opportunity for great phonograph players to practice their subtle art. In control rooms off the dance floor, they preside over the music, nimbly switching from turntable to turntable to spin new records. Some discothèques allow their patrons to suggest tunes to the disquaire, but at many such an impertinence would be unthinkable-like asking Pablo Casals to play Melancholy Baby...
