Waiting for Godot, the event the expectation of which has enabled more than a few of us to take that next step through this winter's slush. Pozzo and the rest of Beckett's boys played by an all-Negro cast. Tonight is the second of ten, at the Shubert. (Mat. on Sattidy...
Under the new policy the U.S. intends to cast its protective cloak over Israel and over the Moslem world from Morocco to Pakistan.

In Uncle Willie his extraordinary appeal does what it can to offset a miserably sleazy play. Cast as a turn-of-the-century do-gooder who deals in everything from pins to cemetery lots, he marries off immigrant cousins, assumes family mortgages and is good to little children.
