...wore little more than a slip and a pout as Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and as the unhappy hooker Gloria Wandrous in Butterfield 8. In Cleopatra, her bangles and baubles barely covered the upper and lower regions of the Nile. What a costume change, then, for Elizabeth Taylor, in private life Mrs. John Warner, wife of the junior Senator from Virginia. Dutifully observing a 62-year-old Senate tradition she might understandably have skipped, Liz donned a Red Cross Gray Ladies' uniform and joined Mrs. Warren Magnuson of Washington and other Senate wives...

The curate Diouf pleads for passive religious acceptance; Felicity Trollop Pardon shrieks "Dahomey!" and "Africa!" with an epileptic frenzy; Augusta Snow says little and wears anger like a nimbus round her pout-mouthed head. Genet further burlesque's white perceptions of black names by dubbing the mysterious revolutionary "Newport News." Adelaide Bobo assists emcee-director Archibald and they begin to organize the evening's performance...
