RELATIVELY SPEAKING, Kenny was new to the country. His father worked as a bartender in a Northern country club and was partial to games of chance. But Kenny had broken with that past.

What he had didn't sound like quite enough to support a family...
Noel Coward's Hay Fever is probably also funny. Opens tonight at 8 in the Kirkland House JCR; this weekend and next...

With the exception of a planned Adams House production of Medea--recently scrapped because of lack of interest--and a Winthrop House production of The Plain Dealer, the other House selections, Leverett's Applause and Kirkland's Hay Fever, are marked by unusual frivolity.

...could be either a subdued Wedding March or a spirited Funeral Dirge." Rosenwald even makes Grusha's flight on a rotting bridge spanning a 2000-foot abyss convincing, with a little help from Susanne Boyce, who did the props: the bridge is just a plank between two bundles of hay, but it works. So do the conceivably awkward fadeouts between the play's brief scenes, which are linked by the resonant narration of John Philips as the singer...
