...Swat but an aspiring social lion awkwardly eager to say the right thing. The rude, uneducated kid from Baltimore's waterfront once convulsed guests at a formal dinner party by spurning a plate of asparagus. "Asparagus," he explained to his hostess in his politest tones, "makes my urine smell." Asparagus, though, was about the only thing that Ruth would not eat. He used to munch hot dogs during practice sessions with the Yankees, once put away an omelet made of 18 eggs and three big slices of ham. He was equally omniverous about girls.

His large and eccentric melodrama is marked by lavish skill at doing what novelists always need to do-write scenes, weave narrative threads, hatch and construct characters, see and smell and feel and describe.

And this performance is very realistic; you're sure to like it if you can stand the smell of burning flesh. (Americans, recent production figures for napalm show, are actually very tolerant of burning flesh.) After the witch trials the show portrays Salem in the Revolutionary War and some other highlights in the town's colorful life. This is all part of the bicentennial celebration, and the show...
