...unevenly talented cast gives an energetic and convincing performance. Tom Griffin, in the role of the stranger, appears somewhat nervous; maybe he's supposed to be--I guess we all would, in that kind of company. Jim Swan, one of the College's most assured actors, leads the denizen crew with a misguided righteousness that very nicely constructs the mood for the rest. They are: Robert Schwartz, Richard Dozier, George de Menil, Travis Linn and Richard Fisher--with a special hello to Mr. Dozier. John Grace constructed the set; if he designed it, as well (the program doesn...
...misunderstood term and is used as a demeaning handle." Even if it is demeaning, one inhabitant of The Place-a badly beat San Francisco joint -announced last week that it is too good for Marlon. "The beats think Brando's a slob," he cried. Not so, retorted a denizen of the Co-Existence Bagel Shop. "He comes up here and pals on weekends. Makes the parties.

"Hey!" said one little denizen of the neighborhood. "Lookit momma's dolling!" It was the work of a moment for the roughneck and his pal to redecorate the object of their interest with a barrage of rotten fruit. Then they opened their mouths to laugh, but no sound came. When last seen, the two boys...
...social bureaucracy, nowadays frequently prints items about such relative newcomers as Hostesses Perle Mesta and Gwen Cafritz. While Evie Gordon travels among the elite, the bulk of her public-and some of her best sources-are such people as doormen and automobile callers at Washington receptions. One denizen of the social world once said to her: "Oh Evie, somebody told me you had a piece about me today. We don't take the News, but my servants do. Would you send the column to me?" Evie takes such jibes in stride. Says she: "My readers are janitors...
