Casey Jones (by Robert Ardrey; pro duced by The Group Theatre). The Sceneryless-Theatne Movement (Julius Caesar, The Cradle Will Rock, Our Toun) got a smack on the jaw last Saturday when the curtain went up on Casey Jones. There, covering the whole stage and appearing to race through the night, stretched a life-sized, glinting locomotive. The audience let loose a tornado of applause.

...Marvin Mclntyre was in charge, that the President had decided to come ashore a day earlier than originally planned, go direct to Washington instead of stopping off at Gainesville and Warm Springs, Ga., political reporters promptly began to draw conclusions. Reason given by the President was that his infected jaw-from which Commander Arthur H. Yando, White House dentist, extracted a diseased molar last fortnight- was not healing rapidly as it should have. Reason suggested by political reporters- who discarded a new crop of wild rumors that the President was seriously ill-was that the President felt obliged to crack...
