First the tympani's unbelievable crescendo at the start of the March to the Scaffold, then the mock-serious strings, followed by all that nonsense for the bassoons. Finally the inevitable tuba, and a great off-beat joke by the percussion utensils. The Dream of a Witches' Sabbath flaunted its own goodies, notably the raucous way the clarinets, flutes, and bassoons treat the witches' dance tune (a perversion of the Beloved's theme). The brasses' evil parody of the dies Irae plainchant seemed to have more downright nastiness to it than ever before...
Tropical rains flooded the mock-up Indian village, and bats and bird-sized moths flung themselves into the klieg lights. It was the Brazilian location of Tarzan and the Big River, and ex-National Football League Linebacker Mike Henry, the 14th Tarzan since the film series began in 1918, stood shivering in his thatched hut. Then, girding his loincloth, he swung wildly at a mosquito (thus marring his body makeup) and grumbled: "I took this job on to find out if the movie people really had fun.

Everything was bubbly as Funny Girl Barbra Streisand, 23, gave Husband Elliott Gould a loving buss backstage at Broadway's Martin Beck Theater after Elliott opened in a mock Sennett musical called Drat! The Cat! Then some of those cool New York cats-the critics-spoiled the party. They decided that, while Elliott was charming enough as a simple-souled cop who falls in love with a cat burglaress, they weren't so charmed by Librettist Ira Levin's pratfalling plot. As Mrs. Gould commiserated with her husband, the producers closed the play after...
