...same little pikers in back of those other two shows--let alone much of the more resounding Cambridge entertainments over the last three years--are responsible for the latest and in lots of ways the most dazzling of them. People like Stu Beck, Bob Bush, Shannon Scarry, Bea Paipert and Josh Rubins have become integral parts of the local scence--like parking meters and potholes...
...Appleby, and Marcia Smith with Frank Appleby; their set calls them the Applesmiths. Eddie Constantine and Irene Saltz make it together, and so do Ben Saltz and Carol Constantine; they are the Saltines. As for Piet Hanema, call him insatiable; he expands the permutations by sleeping with Georgene Thorne, Bea Guerin, Carol Constantine and especially Foxy Whitman. The sexual scenes, and the language that accompanies them, are remarkably explicit, even for this new age of total freedom of expression. Some critics have dismissed Couples as an upper-middle-class Peyton Place. It isn't, but it is getting...
...number of its theaters and concert stages was actually shrinking. Sparking a drive that began in 1960 to rehabilitate the Auditorium was Mrs. John V. Spachner, a tenacious and seasoned Chicago fund raiser. Undaunted by an earlier estimate that had pegged the cost of restoration at $4,000,000, Bea Spachner enlisted the aid of an enthusiastic Louis Sullivan fan, Architect Harry Weese, 52. Weese resurveyed the building, reported that it could be brought back to mint condition for only $2,250,000, and volunteered to donate his services...
...Judy in her nightly 90-minute appearances, there are song-and-dance interludes by her daughter Lorna, 14, and son Joey, 12.

Finally, and inevitably, comes Over the Rainbow. Some nights when she is too drained, it is more croaked than crooned. "Stay here and sing" someone cries amid the shrieks and bravos. "Don't ever go away!" Later, when she emerges from the stage door, some...
...cast, finding itself with shallow, mechanical parts, has retaliated by only going through the motions. Even Laurence Senelick's lines, which he lets go with a luscoius roll, somehow land with a clunk. Bea Paipert makes a very funny cow of an old lady, Kathryn Walker gives a droll, nasal performance of a declining aristocrat, and Tom Jones is perfect as a timid schoolteacher. But Director George Hamlin's overall pace is funeral, and most of the performances lack snap. The audience, however, seemed to enjoy the same mechanical trick of "getting sick" five or six times...
