...Uneven Effects. The mini-recession has had uneven effects across the economy. Airlines suffer immediately from corporate cost-cutting. Trans World Airlines reported a $40 million loss for the quarter, partly caused by the work slowdown on the part of air-traffic controllers during March. RCA, hurt by a decline in sales of television sets and other consumer items, had a profit drop of 36%, to $27 million. Oil-company earnings so far have generally decreased...
...cast of Daniel is more uneven, but again one singer stands out. His name is Lawrence Bakst, and he possesses one of the most attractive and effortless tenor voices around. It would be good to hear him more often in the Cambridge area. The other lead singers were generally effective, with Chalyce Brown an especially striking Queen. The chorus also sang well, but their acting was only to varying degrees appropriate. The entrance of the Queen's seven attendants, all smiling like airline stewardesses, was more appropriate to a Miss America pageant than a medieval pageant-opera...
...every soirée at the Executive Mansion has been an unqualified wow. Singer Robert Goulet was loud and uneven before Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau; reaction was mixed to Songstress Peggy Lee's performance for French President Pompidou. One night during Prime Minister Harold Wilson's visit, a black limousine rolled up to the front portico at the appointed hour. The Army heralds were ready. Out trilled Rule, Britannia. Out of the limo stepped Spiro Agnew...
...cast is uneven, and Director Gene Saks too often seems merely to have urged his actors toward assorted bedlam. Martin Gabel displays a finely arrogant condescension as the Hawk, who can sniff out Communist threats in unpopulated jungles, and David Burns as the Ambassador hilariously exhales his words like a trombone in anguish. A lavish campaign contributor, he storms that Washington doesn't even know where his post is. That is the play's problem as well, but the laughs are located at Broadway's Helen Hayes Theater, and in a dry season they are thirst quenchers...
...Station Zebra, has gone into the student-film business, complete with high-powered promo and the kind of program notes Ernest Borgnine might write: Genesis ? is their first contribution to what they lucidly term "an evolving art." Programs of shorts, no less student films usually make for pretty uneven viewing, and this collection is no exception: taken as a program it's astoundingly mediocre despite the money and care that has obviously been lavished on some of these productions. Further in an economy move, or perhaps in a calculated effort to prevent your remembering what you saw. Film-ways...
