Although her delivery at the premiere was a bit too leisurely, Marjorie Gateson has fun with the best role in the play, that of Lady Hurf, who proclaims herself "born a piece of old carpet" and "disintegrating with boredom." Jane McArthur brings sparkling eyes, a beautiful pony-tail coiffure and the buoyancy of Susan Strasberg to the part of the 20-year-old niece.

Buick, tossing away its unsightly 1957 roof struts and chopped-up rear windows, will have a smooth roof, wrap-around rear window, a revamped grille, dual headlights and tail fins...
