"The Doctors Dilemma" de-

q satiric comedy. The prob

asking whether it is better for
medicine to save q good man,
but q mediocre one. or to pro-

By Joy Cormody


Paul Gregory, the original
fellow who produced such dis
tinctive entertainment as Don
Juan in He'll" and "The Caine
Mutiny Court Martial" is of
on a new tack in Three for
Tonight"
This one he calls a Con-
cert Theater presentation and
he could not have chosen a
more talented trio for his
production than Cover and
Marge Champion. Harry Bella
fonte, and the Voices Of Walter
Schumann.
There is, however, reason to
doubt that Mr.. Gregory has
made the most effective use Of
his shining collection Of
youthful and gifted perform
ers.
Note Of Archness
Into this entertainment, as
in none of its triumphant
predecessors, there has crept a
note of archneSs, or coyness,
whose absence was the domi-
nant element in the charm
in the earlier Gregory hits.
"Three for Tonight" is too
self consciously the simple
wedge of musical Americana
it purports to be, especially in
the narrator's, or story-teller's.
performance by Don Beddoe.
Mr.. Beddoe. by accident or
design, comes of as a Foxy
Grandpa type unwilling to let
the brilliant principals and
their material speak for them
selves on Mr.. Gregory's new
est stage. The effect is to
make him an intruder upon
the scene where the Cham
pions. Mr.. Belafonte and the
Schumann singers need no
interpreter to make their art
and their purposes clear.
Nevertheless, in spite of this
detracting aspect, Three for
Tonight" has many highly
entertaining merits. 1t can
be, and is, gay, graceful and
witty when the Champions are
dancing. affecting when Bella
fonte sings although too con-
stantly in the spiritual mood,
and lyrically lovely when the
Schumann voices soar in song.
Has q Continuity
The design of "Three for
Tonight" is aimed at making
1t a cohesive affair, a dramat-
ically shaped medley which
displays the place Of song and
dance in democracy's fabric.
It's background music is more
predominantly choral than
instrumental and this is as it
should be with a group as
versatilely musical as the
Schumann singers. a decora-
tive lot along with Its other
virtues.
AS most concerts are, this
theater type production, is
divided into two acts or Sec
tons. Having made this con-
cession to convention, how
ever, "Three for Tonight"
zooms off on its own original
course with material quite
alien to the classic halls in
which 1t Is proving so popular.
The first act, for example.
starts as logically as you please
with the choral group illogi-
cally making q beautiful nov
city of THE Song Is You"
The dance that usually marks
the take-of Of musical comedy
comes next In Mr.. Gregory's
arrangement. 1t introduces
the Champions, in rare form.
In Q pair Of numbers designed
by Cover, the first q sort of
showcase item. the second q
dramatic number in which a
petulant bride starts home to
mother only to end up in the
cavalier arms Of her late

Senators See Ray Of Hope
In Sudden Burst Of SIuqqinq
PouIu Typifies
Problem Faced
By Dresser
By BURTON HAWKINS

There are occasions when
Chuck Dresser. operating a base
ball kindergarten class, must be
tempted to skewer some of his
Senators for their blunders. But
there are times. too, when the
bouncy manager can discern q
faint flicker of hope.
Take Carlos Paula, for in
stance. Taking Carlos as steady
diet can be a bitter dose. but
Dresser likes all those muscles
packed by the big Cuban and
patiently has been schooling him
to unchain his power.
Customarily, such lessons are
learned in the minors, but Chuck
is struggling nobly with what
has been handed him. It's akin
to polishing brass on a battle
ship with a toothbrush. but Dres-
sen is the type who refuses to
wilt when handed distasteful
job.
Hitting Improves
So, through an interpreter, ex-
Senator Bobby Estalella. he has
been toiling painstakingly on the
batting bahavior of Paula. He
has shortened Paula's stride. be-
seeched him not to swing at
every pitch within radar range
and gradually has subjected him
to a painful process of improve
ment.
Maybe it's rubbing off. In
his last six games Carlos has
batted 1888 and has thumped
three triples in his last IA
chances. He socked a pair yes
terday as the Senators travelled
10 innings to drop a GA decision
to the Tigers, then broke nine
game losing streak by winning
the second game of a double
header. 12-4. before 1907 Gus
toners at Griffith Stadium.
But Carlos hasn't been grad
uated. There's a lot he hasn't
learned about hitting and when
it comes to fielding, throwing to
proper bases and base running
well, let's not get insulting.
Paula was about to become a
hero in the first game when he
Cracked a triple to center with

and the game tied at "A. Then

Carlos on a close play.

Boosts Davis Cup Bid
Patty, a 31-year-old interna-
tionalist who won the Wimble-
don crown in 1850, buoyed his
chances of making the United
States Davis cup team this sum-
mer.
The Californian, who spends
most of his time in Paris, has
been overlooked by cup selectors
in the past because he preferred
European to American competi-
ton.
He played intelligent, steady
tennis against Hoad, a court
'blaster who was finding trouble
with his accuracy.
Hoad dropped his service in
the opening game of the match
before he removed his wind
breaker and that proved a vital
break since play followed service
the rest of the way.
Patty broke Hoad in the sew
enth game of the second set, but
had game-point eight times be-
fore he finally crashed through.
The Californian cracked Hoad
in the second game of the third
set, never dropping his own de-
livery.
Long Set Tires Drobny
Drobny, who has been suffer-
ing from appendicitis, fought
like tiger in the first set, twice
breaking Trabert's service and
at one time leading, 5-3. But
Trabert rallied, survived another
service break and finally crashed
through on the 14th game.
Drobny, a former Czech who
fled the Communist country to
take up citizenship in Egypt,
tired visibly after battling the
power-hitting American through
IA games of the opening set.
Trabert, who has been both
cred with hand blisters, showed
no indication of any trouble as
he kept the pressure on the de-
posed champion with his can
Inonball service and driving at
tack.
Drobny, playing in his 18th
Wimbledon, saved three match
points in the ninth game of the
third set and the crowd, pulling
hard for the self-exiled Czech,
Icheered wildly.
But Trabert proved too young
and too strong for the 34-year-
old veteran. The American ripped
