...about ten inmutes in the second act, a fine musical version of Juno and the Paycock is currently on view at the Shubert. These ten minutes show a backyard party, conducted to the tune of a cheerfully cheesy waltz, suddenly interrupted by the entrance of a woman on the way to the funeral of her son, who had been killed fighting for the Irish Republic. Most of the party, suddenly chastened, troop out as mourners, and the man who had been forced to inform on the dead soldier tries to relieve his feelings in a desperately gay dance...
