...mannerism. About the middle of the second act we begin to feel we've seen it all before in the first act. Troilus washing his face recalls the Trojan's first act entrance, actors who project physical characteristics early in the play keep projecting them and, as in the Loeb's Balcony, everyone is always clutching at one another to a degree dramatically unjustifiable even in a war story set among the Greeks and Trojans. And it's shame, because Schmidt blocks beautifully on the huge stage (several entrances and scene transitions are stunning) and it would have been nice...
...smaller parts, Ronald Hunter as Hector and Louis Plante as Ajax were excellent, attempting successfully to take characters whom audiences associate with moral and physical arche-types and make them something quite different. Arthur Friedman didn't look a day older than he did playing Aufidius in a recent Loeb Coriolanus and consequently didn't convince me he was senile old Nestor for a minute...
...tender offer expired on July 15 at 3 p.m. Not until shortly after 1 p.m., when a federal appellate court denied ABC's request for an injunction, did shares start pouring in. As much as 90% of those offered to Hughes were rushed to his Wall Street dealer, Loeb, Rhoades & Co., within 1½hours of the deadline. Altogether, 1,650,000 shares were counted, some 350,000 short of what Hughes bid for. Still, they represented 28% of ABC common, and would have made Howard Hughes ABC's largest stockholder...
...Artaud and Grand Guignol. The set, grotesque caryatids awesomely conceived and executed by Sebastian Melmoth, nonetheless serves little intrinsic function in Ginn's concept, appearing only as so much lavish decoration surrounding the playing area. The costumes and lighting, however, work better, and are superb as only the Loeb can make them...
...basis of last week's offer, Howard Hughes did not look like a savior in Goldenson's eyes. According to the tender put together by Loeb, Rhoades (which should collect at least $500,000 in fees if the proposition goes through), Hughes would buy ABC shares at $74.25 apiece. That would be about $15 above the market price when the offer was first made, although the Hughes magic started ABC share values spinning last week, and the stock closed the week at 68 1/4, up ten points. A major objection from the network's viewpoint is that...
