...part is a transplant, a ghost and an agent of the devil. One of the few nearnormal human beings is the matriarch of "Collinwood," the haunted manor that is the scene of the action. That role is filled by the show's top-billed star, former Film Actress Joan Bennett, 58, who says frankly: "You reach a certain age in Hollywood when there's a shortage of glamour roles...
CHICK COREA: TONES FOR JOAN'S BONES (Vortex). There is a brilliant clarity, like tumbling diamonds, to the tones Pianist Corea polishes off here. His touch is firm and percussive, his ear tuned toward a definite, stirring pulse. In Litha he strings together quick, imaginative melodic fragments that are the mark of the alert modernist.

And yet by comparison, the new experiments in theater make the play seem greyer, dustier, more sibylline than it used to be-as if the sisters' failure...
Still, Wong's jungle boot camp has been a partial success. So far, eight "graduates" have not reappeared in months; yet some orangs, like a young female named Joan, seem unable to make up their minds. She mated in the wild but came back to have her baby. Now she wanders in and out of the camp with little Joan clinging to her side, enjoying the best of both worlds...
