...delivery of the Queen Mab speech is a masterpiece of abstracted art. Teetering on madness, he spouts the words as if emerging from a lifelong nightmare. Zeffirelli, however, seems to have had better luck in casting youth than age. Pat Heywood's Nurse is a cockney caricature. And Milo O'Shea's Friar Laurence is a characterization lost somewhere in the middle distance, not deeply enough involved with the lovers nor sufficiently removed to act as a chorus of comment...
...throwback to the good old days. A rangy bay with tremendous early speed, he won last March's $134,000 Florida Derby, followed that up with a smashing five-length victory in last week's $32,300 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland in Ken tucky. With Jockey Milo Valenzuela holding on for dear life, Forward Pass led every step of the way, sped H miles in 1 min. 47 4/5 sec.-just 2/5 sec. off the Keeneland track record...
...Nesbitt shows, artists in 1968 are more likely to litter their workbenches with draftsmen's tools than with paint rags, to trim their walls with Surveyor's lunar photographs than with models of the Venus de Milo.

Claes Oldenburg's huge apartment is in a perpetual clutter because, as Nesbitt points out, "Claes likes to have a lot of things around so he can stumble over them...
...some plays had fuel gauges attached to them, their needles would indicate half full. The full half of Staircase, which opened on Broadway last week, contains uncompromisingly fine acting by the two-man cast, Eli Wallach and Milo O'Shea, and a decent quota of amusing though not wildly funny lines. The empty half consists of scanty action, no character development, and a drowsy repetitiveness that comes from distending a potentially compact one-acter into a full-length play. The comedy concerns two aging homosexual barbers and is unlikely to offend any one, except possibly barbers...
...Czechoslovak Film Festival would have seemed as unlikely as a yacht regatta in Peking. When Ján Kadár's The Shop on Main Street was shown at New York's Lincoln Center Film Festival in 1965, it had no U.S. theater bookings; neither did Miloš Forman's Loves of a Blonde, when it opened the festival the following year. Shop went on to win an Oscar as the year's best foreign-language film, while Blonde, accompanied by delighted reviews, eventually proved a profitable box-office success. Czech movies may soon...
