...PLAYHOUSE (shown on Fridays). The Victorians: Two Roses. The powers and danger of money are brought home to Digby Grant when he suddenly finds himself a rich...
...onetime Georgia well driller, made his first recording in 1962, has since successfully toured England and France and drew frenzied applause from an audience of 7,000 at this spring's Monterey Pop Festival. On King & Queen (Stax), he shares the throne with Carla Thomas. With rich growls and husky shouts Otis mixes jokes and blues, first down tempo, then up tempo, almost missing the beat and then catching it at precisely the right fraction of a second...

The lines of character like the lines of John Braden's sets are balanced, clear and instantly defined. Bea Paipert creates two brief roles, the hunched, old pawnbroker Raskolnikov kills and a crazy madam at a police station, in maybe three minutes of stage time...
