Died. Larry Fine, 73, one of the Three Stooges; of a stroke; in Woodland Hills, Calif. As the frizzy-haired, tuber-nosed sidekick of Moe and Curly, Larry played an amiable idiot who spent most of his time dodging pies. Veterans of one-and two-reel shorts of the '30s, the Stooges enjoyed an extraordinary revival on TV in the late '50s, when their ham-handed slapstick endeared them to a new generation of children...

Nanki-Poo (Tom Fuller) was also excellent. The straight male Dudley Doright lead in G & S operas are usually second in insipidity only to the straight female lead, and Fuller turned in one of the most successful recent performance in such a difficult, unrewarding role. Pooh-Bah (Scott Moe) was well performed, but not as satisfactory; like Peter Rogers's unfortunate Mikado and Crowley's otherwise fine Ko-Ko, his portrayal suffered from too much of an unctiousness that makes Gilbert and Sullivan seem like effete tomfoolery, overbred "veddy British" knockabout farce, instead of satirical light opera of the highest...
...Ruoti, who delivers her smart remarks with all the emotion that simmers beneath them. As the wisecracking racketeer who understands that it's all a racket. "Marriage, politics, big business- everybody plays cops and robbers," and who says "Listen, lousy," when he means "I love you," Steven Gilborn's Moe Axelrod grows on you throughout the production. Donald Buka polishes off the role of the fat cat capitalist Uncle Morty as effortlessly as he wolfs down the huge dinner with which Bessie woos...
...John Zwach (rhymes with clock), Republican Rep resentative from Minnesota. In between are Schneebeli (Shnay-ble), Republican Representative from Pennsylvania, and Kluczynski (Kloo-chin-skee), Dem ocratic Representative from Illinois. Especially rich-sounding are the Gs in the House. Among them: Gaydos (Gay-duss), Pennsylvania Democrat; Giaimo (Gy-moe), Connecticut Democrat; Gubser (Goob-ser), Republican from California; and Gude (Goo-dee), Republican from Maryland. The only of fice that has remained impervious to the phonetic assault is, of course, the presidency itself. But Spiro Agnew is within shouting distance...
