...United Steelworkers of America (1952-65); of cancer; in Palm Springs, Calif. A third-generation labor organizer, McDonald claimed, "I was born with a union spoon in my mouth." In 1959 he staged one of the costliest strikes in U.S. history-a 116-day walkout. Under fire as a "tuxedo unionist" who had lost touch with the rank and file, he surrendered his post in 1965 to his deputy, I.W. Abel...

All this under the auspices of "Black Cast Theater...
...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...
