...Casey tang. And despite symbols that are more like stencils and incidents too much like one another, Cock-a-Doodle Dandy has its amusing scenes and its fiery ones. Unhappily, in a quite un-Gaelic and ponderous production, there emerges nothing of the robustly comic playwright; the horseplay is elephantine, the darts are leaden cannonballs. What alone and all too stridently emerges is O'Casey's angry protest. Cock-a-Doodle Dandy, in any real sense, has still to be produced in New York...
Mike Stepovich, happy as a sourdough with a new-found nugget, turned to leave, stopped to sign autographs for well-wishers, then stepped outside to pose for pictures and some hugs-and-backslap horseplay with Alaska's Democratic Delegate E. L. ("Bob") Bartlett and with two engineers of the House victory: New York's Democrat Leo O'Brien and Pennsylvania's Republican John Saylor.

And they have invented some new laughs. For example, when Benedick says of Beatrice, "I do spy some marks of love in her," the remark takes on a fresh significance through...
...steeliest of the girls stood beside the cans as markers. An Angels Camp policeman darted into the street to pick up the beer cans, retreated amid hoots and catcalls when a cyclist buzzed him. Other gangs organized drag races, reached 50 m.p.h. from standing starts. Some settled for simple horseplay. One doughty fellow teased his friends with a mop until they charged him with chains, beat his face bloody and banged his head against the pavement. "Get up and you're dead," said a buddy, who kicked him in the groin and slouched...
