...been promising, if still wary. They number only 200 to 300 in three main bands, and have no cause to hate Caldera as they hated the previous regime, which cracked down hard on leftist dissidents. Guerrilla leaders are weighing an offer of mediation by Jose Humberto Cardinal Quintero, and a dialogue of sorts is under way. When a Cabinet member, in a gesture to the leader of the oldest and largest band, promised that "the government's doors are open to Douglas Bravo, and if necessary, to Fidel Castro," Bravo's chief lieutenant cordially replied: "The mountain roads...
MORE STATELY MANSIONS. Eugene O'Neill wanted the uncoordinated, lengthy manuscript of this play destroyed. Somehow a copy survived, and has been subjected to the surgery of José Quintero, who manages to make the great U.S. dramatist appear as inept as a summer-stock apprentice. As a husband, wife, and mother fencing for one another's love, Arthur Hill, Colleen Dewhurst and Ingrid Bergman all appear lost in a disenchanted forest...
Faced with O'Neill's rhetorical soliloquies and the awkward device of having characters utter their unspoken thoughts, Director José Quintero apparently folded his hands in slothful reverence.

David Hays's sets-stylized landscapes that looked like 19th century needle point - evoked a fitting mood of rural U.S.A. OUR CITY'S FINEST HOUR IN ART AND CULTURE, proclaimed the front-page banner in the Indianapolis Times...
...noteworthy productions will be opening during the vacation. Under Jose Quintero's direction Jason Robards stars in the U.S. premiere of Eugene O'Neill's unconventional near-monologue Hughie (at the Rovale; previews begin this evening). It is the only completed play in a planned cycle of six. Dealing with illusion and reality, it should appeal to those who admire The Iceman Cometh. And Alan Schneider will be guiding two great players, Sir John Gielgud and Irene Worth, through Edward Albee's new play. Tiny Alice (at the Billy Rose Theatre; previews begin Decembr...
