...Sans Souci Hotel readied the full treatment for its imminent guests, the touring Shah of Iran and his luscious Queen Soraya. The protocol section of the U.S. State Department was also concerned: it wanted to restrain the overzealous hotel from whipping up the Shah's visit into a lather of commercialized hullabaloo. The Sans Souci insouciantly proceeded to run a red carpet from its lobby to the street, redecorate a 16-room wing as the imperial suite, paint the Shah's coat of arms on every royal door in sight.

The act begins at breakneck tempo, works itself into an autobiographical lather (Never Marry a Dancer), takes a breather when Albert throws all his theatrical technique into September Song a la Walter Huston. Then it sidles off into a calypso tempo (Man, Man Is for the Woman Made), goes serious again when Margo dramatizes a mother's prayer (from Irwin Shaw's Sons...
