...falling!" The analogy was not quite apt, but feathers and beaks were the dress of the day for Skylab watch parties from Minneapolis to Manhattan. Guests at the "first and last annual greater New Orleans Skylab observation party" were asked to bring binoculars, telescopes and crash helmets. Jay Schatz, owner of a luxury high-rise apartment building on Chicago's Near North Side, scheduled a sub-basement party for tenants that would begin two hours before Skylab was expected to break up. Radio stations eagerly joined the hoopla. Ohio's WNCI-FM in Columbus offered $98,000 to the first...
...Dudley House production would be more aptly titled The Bar Mitzvah Party. Ben Schatz creates an Alceste who is petulant, insipid and obnoxious. He shouts too much, smirks unexplainably, and flounders in an oversized tuxedo like a Bar Mitzvah boy who hates the guests but doesn't want the party to end. For the slurring speed with which he gives half his lines, Schatz may as well be playing Alceste in Moliere's original French. Instead of social comment, the play becomes farce...

...good moments were too few and too far between, and even they were soured by embarrassing sequences such as the White Knight's and the Fawn's, both played by Ben Schatz, when the script, music and acting combined to explore the depths of gooey and contrived sentiment. The Fawn sequence was marred not so much by the flowery romanticism of the song as by the Fawn's weird behavior upon discovering that Alice is a human child. He runs off stage acting as if he were trying to keep himself from commiting an unnatural act, and only the most...
