Down to Work. Stuarti wraps up all this dolcezza in what he calls his "there are no strangers, only friends I haven't met" approach. A slender, handsome, loosely jointed man with a wild mop of brown hair, he woos his audiences with a wide assortment of audio-visual aids: a nifty little tango step, a flinging of the arms, a flexing of the knees, and a sort of deep lumbar lean that threatens to topple him over backward. He may drift around the room, mike in hand, gazing smokily into the eyes of ringside ladies, who invariably gaze...

That record should be enough for his election unless one of those wild cards takes...
...COMEDIES: Elaine May (TIME, Sept. 26, 1960) has finally finished her long-fermented play. If it contains her own wild and uncommon brilliance, it will be superb. Called A Matter of Position, it is vaguely described as a protest against society. The star is her comic partner, Mike Nichols (Oct. 25). S. N. Behrman's Lord Pengo (Nov. 11) is an adaptation of his biography of Art Dealer Joseph Duveen, played by Charles Boyer. Anita Loos (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes} has been tinkling with a French play about the wedding night of Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves. Sidestepping...
