excellent" BILL S.
MANY viewers will undoubt-
eddy agree with you. On re-
Election, my impression is that
Miss Stanley's performance
was perhaps a shade too sub
dued. Again, this may be the
fault of the play. or rather
the lack of sufficient time for
the author to draw a fuller
sportrait.)
Dear Bernie:

How about Medic dra-
matizing the mans change?
We women take a beating
about our conduct during the
menopause but we put UP with
plenty, too, when our husbands
arrive at the same phase.
IT'S a fact but a little
known one that men also go
through changes which affect
their dispositions and health.
But Just suggest to a man that
he might be I.T.Y. Tin those
years. :. 1t offends his male
