...Railway Boss Beeching, making weekend pilgrim ages to such officially abandoned routes as the Bluebell ("Nowhere to Nowhere") loop in Sussex. Despite a petition signed by 25,000 rail buffs, the Society for the Reinvigoration of Unremunerative Branch Lines in the United Kingdom (SRUBLUK) failed to keep open the scenic reach between Westerham and Dunton Green in Kent last October...
...invisibly placed at the side of the stage and seven men planted downstage. Some of the time these minstrels wander about, some of the time they huddle around a table like displaced poker players.

In and about these Oliver Smith settings cavort the Wiener Burger, garbed by Lucinda Ballard in resplendent turn-of-the-century costumes. Unfortunately, there is little more to this comic operetta than...
