...American girls are dirty, with no makeup and hair down to here, because they are doing their own thing." U.S. Author Leon Uris (Exodus, Topaz) was sounding off in Sydney, Australia-a stop on a round-the-world tour to gather material for his eighth book. "Society's chief curse," carped Uris, is the birth control pill. "Sex has become such an open commodity that it has lost a lot of the affection a man and a woman should have for each other.

Appearing at rehearsal one day made up as a 60-year-old, Beverly persuaded the company that she was right?including Director Capobianco.

The work is an odd mixture of five abstractly modern sections and four stagey "vaudeville" routines, some comic, some gloomily Brechtian in flavor. They include a morose parade of grinning soldiers in clownlike, whiteface makeup, a lady from Spain heel-clacking through a campy flamenco, a pair of policemen mock-dueling with nightsticks. The vaudevilles have no discernible relationship to the abstract sequences-nor, for that matter, to the spirit of the music -yet in the finale, the policemen suddenly break in on the corps...
