...failed to. He has emerged from his The Effect of Gamma Ray on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds success off-Broadway last season with a phenomenally entertaining tragi-comedy about two sisters, both spinster school teachers, at war with themselves and with their hard-boiled, married and successful sister Ceil. The combination at work in this production of superb acting, smooth, carefully thought-out direction, and clever, deftly turned dialogue makes the finished product well nigh irresistible. Estelle Parsons as Catherine Reardon shows the same majestic feel for her part as Julie Harris, playing her neurotic sister Anna...

...school, i.e., a baccalaureate sermon on how to puff marijuana cigarettes without wasting a whiff of those "leftwing Luckies." With poker-faced, evil-eyed Straight Man Gerry Matthews, 26, he delivers a to-the-point parody of TV Torquemada Mike Wallace. The cellar's other mummers are Ceil Cabot, a pout-mouthed Imogene Cocaesque comedienne with a wonderful talent for double and triple takes, and Singer Jenny Lou Law, who laments the love she lost in a grocery-"I was looking for Wheaties; you were looking...
