After its two-week stay in Manhattan, the Foo Hsing Theater, which has toured the U.S. from coast to coast and toast to toast, opens in Mexico City...
...held in duress till she comes of age, and then is wed precautiously to a poor farmer-the sons of such a man, Aegisthus reasons, cannot hope to occupy a throne, and therefore would not dare to kill him. Vain precautions. Orestes returns secretly and at Electra's furious insistence, slaughters the usurper and his evil bride.
