...cast is uniformly brilliant and in some cases superior to the original New York players (who are now in the London production). If there is any actor who stands out in this immensely talented group, it is Bill Moor as Harold, a 32-year-old Jew fairy" with a pock-marked face and a collection of pills he may be saving for an eventual suicide.

Pittsburgh Businessman Carl Volkwein, who for 20 years owned cruisers ranging from 24 ft. to 30 ft. in length, switched to a 40-ft. houseboat two years ago so that he could treat clients and their families to weekend jaunts up the Allegheny; he has already ordered a 43-ft. replacement with even more room. Mystery Writer Erie Stanley Gardner likes houseboats so much that he operates two of them on California's Sacramento River.
