...Salisbury's downtown streets was broken only by occasional drunken cries ("Rhodesia, Rhodesia") and a few blasts of car horns. Most white Rhodesians performed their usual tasks, went home to their usual dinners and sat down to watch their usual TV programs.

As usual their make-up is inept, their chorus movement imprecise, and their fourth encores gratuitous. And, as usual, nobody cares. For under the guiding hand of Prof. W. Hayden Boyers the Oberlin group epitomizes all that which is fresh and lively in college theatre...
