...Cherry Orchard is the most farcical of Chekhov's major works, and the cast (including George Voscovec, Raul Julia, Cathryn Damon, Marybeth Hurt and Michael Cristofer) whoops and tumbles through it with exaggerated zest. Especially delicious is Meryl Streep's housemaid Dunyasha, all borrowed gentility and sexual flutter...
...Chile the church, led by Raul Cardinal Silva Henriquez, has been in constant conflict with the government over political imprisonment, torture and murder since the 1973 military putsch. Secret police have expelled two of the church's top civil rights lawyers, and still hold a third, though they have filed no charges against him. Two months ago, Cardinal Silva and leaders of the Chilean hierarchy issued a strong statement expressing alarm about "the fearful and all-powerful police state" that threatens to impose itself "without opposition in our Latin America."

...GUMBALL RALLY is a car stunt comedy about an informal but highly ritualized coast-to-coast race. The competition, organized by a bored businessman (Michael Sarrazin), is joined by a loose freemasonry of friends, rivals and fellow speed freaks.

...Married. Raul Julia, 36, star of Joseph Papp's Lincoln Center production of Threepenny Opera; and Merel Poloway, 26, dancer in the long-running Broadway musical Pippin; he for the second time, she for the first; in a Hindu ceremony performed by Swami Muktananda Paramahansa; in the Catskill Mountains near South Fallsburg...
Granted that premise, this production is riveting. As a monocled Mack the Knife, Raul Julia moves like a Fred Astaire of gangsterdom, sometimes prowling for his favorite whore, Jenny (Ellen Greene). C.K. Alexander's Mr. Peachum-the Fagin of London's turn-of-the-century beggars-might have been drawn by George Grosz. The Kurt Weill score, too renowned for praise (Mack the Knife, Pirate Jenny), is superbly rendered. This Threepenny Opera honors the Brecht who wrote with a hammer and swung a sickle. T.E, Kalem
