...terrific" because a pitch for Ban deodorant used a documentary technique and private-eye oboes to amplify uneasiness about "being close." They rhapsodized in terms that John Ruskin might have used to describe Venice at the sight of margarine oozing down a stack of pancakes in a Blue Bonnet ad. And when Mike Nichols and Elaine May did their spiel for a Jax beer cartoon, involving a surrealistic flirtation between a female waitress and a male kangaroo ("How do I know you're not a kangaroo dressed up in a girl suit?"), voices in the audience had a cathedral...
...company, heard one member exult: "She has made our season." Days were devoted to fashion fittings in her suite, with the dresses dis patched through the lobby under canvas by her couturier, Oleg Cassini. Also under wraps: a massive Mr. John hatbox that surely contained Jackie's Easter bonnet.

Everything else will take its place...
...author of Harvey has attempted another wistfully whimsical frolic, some further genially wacky escapism. But she has not pulled another rabbit out of her hat or even put enough bees in Tallulah's bonnet. Her sort of nursery-rhyme old crone scampering upstairs, downstairs and in my lady's chamber has in places a nursery-rhyme lilt, but far too often a thin, struggling farce's laboredness. The kinfolk and clubwomen who keep trooping in and out make the struggle even harder. The play has charming moments, but only moments; flashes of bright Harveyesque humor, but only...
