...Pint of Beer. "Facts in Ireland," writes Authoress Honor Tracy, "are very peculiar things. They are rarely allowed to spoil the sweep and flow of conversation." In casting aside the grave, ascetic leader whom many of them had served with respect approaching reverence for three decades, the Irish were characteristically unconcerned with facts. Many grim realities confront Ireland in her 33rd year of independence: an emigration rate that is bleeding her white of young blood at the rate of 20,000 a year, an agricultural economy that has still only one market (the U.K.), a soaring unemployment that reached...
Just what authoress Jane Bowles is groping for in here trellisted summer house, a real Child's Garden of Freud, is difficult to imagine. Her characters are strays from the snake-pit, her dialogue is obscure, and the play is wildly incoherent. With cery strains from a vibra-harp introducing the scenes and occasionally backing the dialogue, the play is something for a Grenwich Village theatrein-the-round.

...rural repertory company. The play itself is a rather improbable confection called Tarnished Gold, in which most of the characters seem to be named Jeffrey and Reggie and most of the dialogue seems to consist of "dahling" and "deah boy." Rehearsals are almost at a standstill because the aggressive authoress (Margaret Rutherford) is at loggerheads with the director (Robert Morley), who is at odds with the cast and crew. Additional complications set in when the director falls into the orchestra pit and the authoress takes over his job. Curtain Up has a mildly comic sparkle, but it is often more...
...warning is in order, however; you must like, or at least not loathe, child actors. Authoress Mary Chase, remembered for Harvey, has seen fit to build this "comic fantasy" around two little children, one male, one female, and neither invisible. Robert Mariotti and Lydia Reed, who take the juvenile parts, both fall into the "cute" category, I'm afraid, but both are pretty good actors and never let their scenes become maudlin...
