...Litchfield Playhouse and Connecticut Players (Milford) were all to be going full blast by July 4. The Ivoryton Playhouse, now seven years old, revives shortly thereafter.

Guiterman has written neatly lyrical doggerels to be sung to songs based on old French folk-tunes and bergerettes. Able Dancers Doris Humphrey, Charles Weidman and assistants give a parody turn and little inspiration to some 17th Cen-tury dances. Pictorially it is nearly perfect. But even dour-faced Osgood...
