...wiggle, giggle, and grind out of their females; this director, David Tihmar, has done it splendidly. Pansy (Nicholas Little-field) does a "Slow Twist" which sends all her manufactured hipbones into excruciatingly mock-suggestive spins and slides; Ben Mason as Wholsa Hardy adds a presumably affectionate and completely successful leer to her most innocent remarks; and Toby Walker, if he is not exactly of the Bolshoi, knows both how to spring about and to adopt the listless, tragic pose of the Artburnover at the same time as she seduces Andy by constantly escaping his embrace. That is versatility; all three...
...should leave here convinced that we're not going to leer and snicker about these rules any longer," said Gail E. Thain '64, president of Whitman Hall.

...Price is 51, Lorre is 58, Karloff is 75-can find nothing better to do with their time and talents.

The only successful system, known as the Small Martingale, is to double the bet after each losing play, a maneuver the casinos effectively counter by establishing a bet limit. With a limit of $500, a doubler starting at $1 would have to bet an illegal $512 after only nine consecutive losses...
...people save Silk Stockings, and Pat Fay is one of them. Miss Fay plays Ninotcha, the orthodox Marxlste who visits Paris and melts under the lights of the city and the leer of an American she meets there; and, no kidding, from where I sat she looked every bit as lovely as Garbo. But she did more than look good: she brought onto the stage with her an air of graceful authority and confidence that almost managed to give the unhappy crew around her guts enough to say their corny lines and sing their tuneless songs. Unfortunately, as Ninotchka...
