...saffron-robed Buddhist monks are everywhere. Wearing scarlet jackets, gold and silver beads and bracelets and flowers in their hair, the Laotian women are graceful and attractive and given to music, dancing and proverbs. At nightlong parties, they dance the Lap Ton to a harmonious, high-pitched, 17-hole flute called the Ken.

She trilled out her coloratura passages like a flute, and also shook the rafters with a few stunning fortissimos. Baritone George Gaynes, who is Rosalind Russell's leading man in Broadway's Wonderful Town, took a night off to play the part of the prince's scene-stealing valet, and indulge in some jaunty clowning. Biggest joke of all was John...
