...women's half, the story was more of the same. In the first all-foreign women's final since 1937, Brazil's Maria Bueno, 19, the dark-haired Wimbledon champion, beat Christine Truman, Britain's power-hitting six-footer. It was the first time in the 79-year history of the U.S. championships that no American appeared in either title match...
...make her 400-meter victory even sweeter, Chris beat her great home-state rival, Berkeley's husky, 17-year-old Sylvia Ruuska (TIME, Mar. 9) by a full 7.5 sec., established herself as the most promising U.S. freestyler in years.

The company kicked off with Goodrich & Hackett's The Great Big Doorstep, and followed it with two of Eugene Ionesco's avant-garde one-acters: The Lesson; and Jack, or the Submission. Neither of the last two is in a class with Ionesco's The Chairs; but both are intriguing if too drawn out dramatizations of his thesis that people just cannot communicate sufficiently through language. Jack was more imaginatively staged here than the New York production last year...
