...Napoleon, but Marlon modestly doubts it. "Most of the time," he says. "I just let the make-up play the part." Marlon's next role, Sky Masterson in the film version of Guys and Dolls, will give him a chance to show how well he can warble and hoof, but it hardly brings him any closer to Hamlet. And after Hollywood, where can Brando go? Broadway? In the last 15 years the New York stage has sunk to a historical low in which whole seasons pass without a single first-rate play appearing.

...Grey was in bad trouble. After a brisk nine-furlong workout at Belmont one morning last week, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's Native Dancer (TIME, May 31) pulled up with a sore right forefoot. Trainer Bill Winfrey could feel a suspicious warmth just above the hoof, but X rays showed no internal injury.

With Dr. Brightlee for escort, Mary agrees to a night out-one that begins romantically in Central Park and ends up wildly in night court. The doctor himself becomes smitten with Mary, but the cloven hoof, in the end, proves no match for the youthful hoofer. Picking up after a slow start, the play has enough bright remarks and gay incidents, enough humor, novelty and point of view for a refreshingly pleasant evening. This is true despite the fact that-though Actress Tandy makes a winning Mary Doyle-Actor Cronyn lacks the regrettable charm and dash of the Devil...
