...Malaprop declaims her ridiculous lines with such assurance and poise that they seem even more ridiculous. Earl Montgomery as Sir Anthony is a combination of Elliott Perkins and Nikita Khrushchev, polite and civilized one minute, stamping and roaring the next. As his son, the Captain, Richard Clarke views the behavior of Sir Anthony and Mrs. Malaprop with amused tolerance and woos Lydia with well-bred ardor. And Paul Schmidt, who has also appeared on the Loeb main stage, skillfully plays an affable yet irritatingly suspicious Faulkland...

"I don't know if she'll come out with a statistical study," says Teacher Munroe, "but she will have a different view of social behavior and, perhaps, literature." Adds Husband Lee Munroe, like his wife a Ph.D. from Harvard: "Right now the girls don't know the difference between social work and social science. But by the time they're seniors, they will be able to use the computer to analyze data." Until...
