NORMAN REVEALS a bewildering predilection for nursery rhymes in Traveler-this theme is carried over to Heidi Landesman's set, which features a gingerbread house and a fanciful Mother Goose garden. Sam quotes and analyzes nursery rhymes at great length, and the result is a tedious and heavy-handed string of tired metaphors describing the aforementioned Big Concepts. The funny one-liners which permeate the play also lose their effect after two repetitive hours...
John Barrymore lived in the building I grew up in, No. 36, the white one with the stonework gingerbread facade and the visored knights out front. Edwin Booth, whose statue still plays Hamlet in the center of the park, had a house remodeled by Stanford White to serve as the Players, a club for actors.

One minor coup is the secret of the nut crescents for which the Austrian embassy in Washington, D.C., is renowned. Other fairly easy to make entries include Novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' chocolate cookies, chocolate pepper pretzels, Joe froggers cookies (named for the inhabitants of a Marblehead, Mass., frog pond) and an inviting array of souffles and mousses, notably a sour lime mousse with strawberries. Frozen desserts vary from San Francisco ice-cream...
