...irrigation canals that will stir to life huge, drowsing areas of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Industry is moving into the area. Texas Gulf Sulphur Co. is building the world's largest mine-and-mill potash project at Cane Creek, Utah; San Francisco Chemical Co. will dig and process phosphates near Vernal, Utah...
...notable exceptions, I am happy to say, are quite wonderful. Anthony S. Whyatt as the "Fleshly Poet"--a dig at Wilde--is the very essence of Oscar; mincing his way delicately across the stage, he inevitably gets a laugh every time he opens his quietly disdainful mouth.

Once in rehearsal I got into a fight with someone, and Walter walked right down the aisle and shouted up at me: 'Elaine, go to your dressing room!' Dig that. The teacher complex. She always talks as though she'd memorized her own writing. You want to hear Jean say, 'Gee, you were great, Elaine.' Instead, you get nothing but humor 24 hours a day. They're a clean-cut couple. She drinks beer and he goes in for Cokes and Hershey bars. Jean should swing a bit with a Gibson and find herself...
