...person rather than a maniacal killer. What in "The Closing Door" seems like underplaying by Mr. Knox, may be an authentic interpretation of a particular type of insanity, but it is not effective on the stage. Eva Condon, in the role of the Grandmother, also does a good acting job...
McShain now has $100 million worth of buildings under contract, including Washington's $21.6 million General Accounting Office and the $16.8 million Clinical Health Center.
