...Luise Wykell, Jim and Lorry crawl, never standing upright, at times like insects with spindly legs extending skyward, at times like bears rubbing noses. "Peer," choreographed by Patrice Regnier, deals with emotions that one friend called "primitive," another "childlike." Again, the animal tinges the human character. And finally, "Duet," from Anna Sokolow's "Lyric Suite," omitting the shading of animal character, presents the passions of young lovers...

...entire play takes place in a bedroom. I Do, I Do covers a couple's life together over 50 years of marriage, starting in the 1890s. The play's message is neatly summed up for the audience (in case they managed to avoid it) in the final duet: "Marriage is a very good thing though it's far from easy--still it's filled this house with life and love." For every crisis and every resolution, there is a song; but as the music and lyrics are scarcely less cliched than the plot, the songs hardly lighten the play...

At a farewell party at Ford's Theater, Old Friends Pearl Bailey and Carol Charming sang a duet, and Nancy Dickerson and Gloria Steinem helped narrate Carpenter's life story. But stealing the show, as usual, was Liz herself. "I stand here as the only Democrat leaving town," she told the 650 guests. Reminiscing a bit, Carpenter, 56, cracked: "I can remember most...

Very little of the Soviet Union is on view, save for a few actors badly dubbed, a couple of dancers from the Kirov Bal let and several forests. The most characteristic Russian moment comes in a duet between Will Geer and Mona Washbourne. They portray the deceased grandparents of Tyltyl (Todd Lookinland) and Mytyl (Patsy Kensit), the two intolerable cuties who have been dis patched by Light (one of Miss Taylor's incarnations) to search out the Blue Bird. On their mission, the kids visit the . Veil of Memory, where they find Grand ma and Grandpa snoozing. Soon after...
