...when it enters a slowly pulsating small intestine). A fluoroscope can keep track of the pill's position in the body, while a receiver picks up the FM signals, presents them to the examiner on an oscilloscope as graph waves. Prospects are good that the transmitter will replace awkward, uncomfortable tubes now used to supplement X-ray examination. The pill broadcaster may help spy out certain hard-to-diagnose ailments, e.g., colitis (inflammation of the large intestine...
...chief peasant, Edward Chamberlain is sometimes interesting, and Royall Tyler, as his son, is similar but a bit more awkward. On the other hand, Lillian Aylward, as Chamberlain's God-fearing wife, uses forth-right gestures and voice to create a strong characterization. As Oona, Cathleen's foster-mother, Gail Kepner shows perfectly adequate control of a dull part, but her attention, understandably, often wanders away from it.

The best performances were contributed by the members of Harvard's Deathwatch company which featured Harold Scott, Colgate Salsbury, and D.J. Sullivan. They preserved the polish of their work in the Genet play for the Yale showing. Robert Brustein, as Jean, and Carlyn Cahill, as Julie, also turned in a pair of very distinguished performances in the Vassar production of Miss Julie...
...mere spectacular surface. Although his first act is occasionally loose, his later treatment is strong. The brilliantly ironic scene in which the vicious empress and her two sons visit Titus disguised as Revenge, Rape, and Murder is directed superbly. Lit in dim red and blue, which effectively decreases the awkward closeness to the audience, the scene shows excellent interplay among the enemies as Titus feigns madness and delicately winds revenge around his visitors...
