Friel leaves the subject as murky as he found it, but his actors are luminous. Returning to Broadway after 32 years, Mason is a necromancer at his craft. His real-life wife, Clarissa Kaye, seems like a Mother Courage on loan, and Donnelly is a mischievous imp dressed in the motley philosophy of show biz. Faith healers...
