...Henry Livings' broad farce that asks whether a young man with a merry-go-round mentality can find happiness in a square world...
George Wilcken Romney has the features of an ideal salesman. His broad shoulders, handsome face, and square jaw give him an athletic look. His dark hair, blending into white at the hairline, adds dignity to his rugged appearance. For most of his 59 years, Romney has been a salesman--now he's the politician with the salesman's style. In public and private, he talks with the same force and verbosity; his speech is quick and idiomatic, and, at the same time, earnest and humorless without a trace of wit or sarcasm.

...first one-acter is almost a Broad way in joke. Since Marat/Sade accustomed audiences to the sight of a man's naked backside, what are the prospects for a frontal confrontation?

Not Nathan's Famous in Coney Island, hot-dog server to the world, but Nathan's Famous of Oceanside. Situated on the broad Long Island plane, accessible by car from all directions, Nathan's of Oceanside is what Harvard Square would be if city planners took teen-agers to heart and let traffic control go hang. Conceive a commodious space, roofed with wood, full of metal picnic tables. The air is rotting vegetable incense...
