...actors are similarly inadequate. Mitchell Agruss, as Theseus, handles some of Shakespeare's most exquisite poetry as if it were prose; Rae Allen (Hippolyta) cannot shape a long speech so as to maintain any interest at all; three of the four young Athenians are incompetently portrayed, with only Mariette Hartley, as Helena, rising above mediocrity. Titania, Oberon, and most of their minions were neither human nor supernatural, and failed completely to blend the two in the way that the play requires.

...Alternative. In November Labor Secretary Mitchell escorted Dave McDonald to a secret meeting with President Eisenhower at the White House. McDonald apparently convinced the President that management's terms were so tough that the union would have to go out on strike again when the 80-day Taft-Hartley injunction ran out on Jan. 26. Bent on preventing a renewal of the strike, Ike summoned Vice President Nixon and Secretary Mitchell to the White House shortly before he left on his around-the-world tour, instructed them to push hard to get a settlement...
