...Experimental Theatre production of Chekhov's The Boor and J.M. Barrie's The Twelve Pound Look. Barrie's play, though sentimental--even silly--achieves in its ending what it fails to do throughout.

The Railroad Commission predicted that it might eventually find as many as 300 slanted wells pumping out $30 million worth of purloined oil a year. Said Attorney General Wilson: "This will turn out to be one of the biggest thefts in Texas history." In the land of Billie Sol Estes, that...
