...movie becomes episodic, as the elfish ones drag the honest, clearerheaded (and, by a few inches, taller) boy from time zone to time zone; yet unlike Dorothy's tribulations in Oz, each seems chosen for comical rather than didactic purpose. The first era represents Napoleon (Ian Holm) as a silly drunk, obsessed with height and puppets instead of the conquest of Italy. Holm is awkwardly funny in a sort of ludicrous, obvious way, not even bothering to sustain a French accent. Agamemnon (Sean Connery, looking at once--and for once--agacious, fatherly, and mischievous), is concerned more with magic tricks...
...programs to the RCA/Rockefeller Center network, which will go on the air early next year, CBS-C is leaning heavily on Britain's commercial stations and TV companies in Italy and Germany.

The occasion? A benefit to revive the Tappan Zee Playhouse in Nyack, N. Y., an event that turned into a surprise 80th-birthday party for Local Resident Helen Hayes. Broadway's longtime First Lady bubbled over at the prospect of restoring the old theater where she and such "dear friends" as Jack Benny, Tallulah Bankhead and Beatrice Lillie once played.
