...swelter, and don't, for goodness sake, invest in the new decorator-color shades. You need follow only those two rules, which are actually the one rule, forget about fashions, and you can't go too far wrong in your summer purchases...
Still, the show is a triumph. In the main, this is due to Mr. Bradshaw as John the Witch Boy. Mr. Bradshaw's voice, his eloquent facial expressions, and his lithe and graceful movements make everyone forget the production's rough edges.

...conducts so parsimoniously that it would be easy to forget she is there: a little old lady in grey quietly paying out time on the tips of her fingers. When one hand tires, the other begins.

As it is, she has enough poise and charm to cover up an occasional fluff or to make you forget the juicy lines she lets slip by from lack of rehearsal. One might also excuse her tedious movements and lack of stage business for the same reasons, but the fault lies not in Pat Fay but in director Richard Greenbaum...
