After a change of director and two postponed openings, other edgy words surfaced-this time between first-time Producer Jerry Sherlock, an ex-fabric broker from Seventh Avenue, Playwright Edward Albee and Star Donald Sutherland, who was making his first stage appearance in 17 years. Sherlock almost ran short on his $700,000 budget, and the day before the opening Sutherland found that his paycheck had bounced, an error that has since been rectified.

(Sherlock Holmes preferred his grouse fried with bacon and served with currant jelly, gravy, browned potatoes and mushrooms.) A grouse luncheon at the Connaught costs about $58, sans claret.
