...season included the tryouts of two new plays, which sandwiched a hammy production of The Happiest Millionaire (with Victor Jory). The first tryout was Sweet and Sour, by Florence Lowe and Caroline Francke. It proved to be just one more play about the younger generation's attempt to deal with an intractable old father. The authors obviously thought they were writing the Jewish counterpart of Life With Father, but their play will never have 3183 performances on Broadway. They fell into most of the traps that Schulman avoided in A Hole in the Head. The old Jew was played...

The blazing, barbaric recorded sound is up to the performance...
White's Merlyn was born in the future, is getting younger as he lives backwards through time. Merlyn teaches through the magic of metamorphosis: he is continually changing the Wart into some animal or other. As a fish, the Wart learns self-preservation from a pike; as a hawk, he acquires courage. He gets a taste of the 20th century totalitarian state by spending time in an ant colony, whose anthem is Antland, Antland Over All. Almost by accident, he comes across Excalibur...
