...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...
...lead, but I love it." Came another, pushed too hard by the salesman: "Yes, I see how lovely it looks on the rack. You can just leave it there." At Alper-Schwartz she examined a pale green brocade: "That's a good mother-of-the-bride." At Ceil Chapman, she picked up a beaded taupe silk chiffon sheath (retail price: $395).

It accented huge, winglike sleeves and a wandering waistline. Designer Ceil Chapman's funnel-sleeved line highlighted the "pyramid waist," high in front and low in back. Designers Norman Norell and James Galanos achieved the long-torso effect by dropping the waistline well down to the hip. Designers expect that the wandering waistline will make women's figures look slimmer. Manufacturers expect that it will fatten retail-sales figures...
...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...
