...favorite in the show was Johnny Armen as the Indian, Mortimer. Dressed in long underwear, tennis shoes, and an Indian wig, he played the evil forces of the world that ensnarl the boy and girl--an Egyptian, a Venetian, a Roman, and a Pirate (as well as the Rapist's Assistant). While he whips the boy in one of the tableau scenes, he keeps looking out at the audience, smiling, winking, and waving as he flails. This is the mixture of satire and romance that moves the play...
...presence onstage, and let it be known in various ways that he's got a bigger one than any two men in the audience. C.F. Mick Jagger or Hendrix. By throwing your head around dramatically, by sweating a lot, by swinging your libidinously sweat-curled hair like an escaped rapist, you get a lot of slaveringly good mileage onstage.

In these cases, the cases that face Adlow every day of the week, the only sane thing to do is to trust...
...however, thinking about the subject of the play, which is a simplistic attack on American blood lust. Ranchman, played with great simian gusto by William Devane, is an accused rapist in police custody. A howling mob, which seems largely composed of teenyboppers, demonstrates throughout-half for him and half against him. A ratty prosecuting attorney introduces highly clinical and irrelevant evidence against him; the alleged rape victims-two women, a young girl and a boy-seem to have enjoyed every minute of the experience...
