...CACTUS FLOWER is a French farce adapted to U.S. tastes by Director Abe Burrows. Handling dialogue like a bone-dry martini, Nurse Lauren Bacall is all efficiency in the office but predictably cuts loose on the dance floor, with some torso twisting that causes Dentist Barry Nelson to drop his dentures...
...even Charles Frohman or Jake Shubert, has ever done before. In the 1965-66 season, his supremacy has been absolute. Out of 44 new shows presented on Broadway, Merrick produced only five.

The New York Botanical Garden's 500-ft. tropical rain garden...
...that the beauty of the flowers at flower shows depends completely on chemists, horticulturists and hybridizers. The fact of the matter is that insects do not like wallflowers either, and if a bloom does not lure them with its looks and fragrance, the chances are that the blossom will not get pollinated or reproduce. Even before Burpee, it has been the survival of the fairest...
