Plastic boats, which were about 15% of those made last year, are growing by 20% a year and rapidly taking over the industry. Some 95 plastic or fiber-glass boats were on display, including the 41-ft Bounty II, biggest plastic boat, with a 55-ft. fiber-glass mast, the tallest yet made. Among the other newcomers in Plastic: the 26-ft. Luders-16, day sailer and racer; the 15-ft. Feather Craft runabout; and the 14-ft. Owens Speedship runabout.

Something Unspoken, dealing with an uppity society woman and her secretary-companion, is a warm-up piece that leaves the spectator cold. Suddenly Last Summer is a vivid display of Williams' unique virtues and persisting excesses. A kind of psychological suspense piece, it works backward from the knowledge of a self-luxuriating "poet's" death to the nature of it. His rich, ruthless mother had long shared her son's dubious traveled life, but when she had a slight stroke, he took a young girl cousin...
...requests for it from all over the world, and it would take a Solomon to make a decision. Also, as a matter of fact, I'm getting rather fond of it."
