...Cosmo Campoli, 37, a former factory worker, sculpts creatures swollen almost out of recognition. His sculptures of women in the act of giving birth are brutally explicit; his Prodigal Son is a head bursting with dim regrets. "I want my sculpture to exist-really exist," he once wrote. "I want it to holler when it's being threatened by neutral surroundings." His wife, winsome Kathryn Carloye, does small terra-cotta bas-reliefs consisting of ranks of tiny skulls, with things growing from them.

Rene Paul was dull but adequate as the supposedly suave Cosmo Constantine, Robert Mesrobian showed a certain degree of comic talent as Sebastian Sebastian, and Roger Starr was even funny as the protocol-minded charge d'affaires. The chorus line was singularly unattractive and un-rhythmical. Of course the play still has Irving Berlin's pleasing score, but then, so do all the record stores in the Square...

Dunlap slashed its 14-man advertising sales staff, abolished mail subscriptions, pared soliciting of ads to the bone, and cut its ad rate from $5,000 a page to $2,100.
