It is. in a word. one endless round of refined lol- llty. an entertainment extremely ec- static in its ludicrousness. The char- acters are such original conceptions that they are a thousand degrees re- moved from other stage types. There is no discounting the ability of the cast this season as it contains comed- lans of recognized ability. Budd Ross as Obedinh Dingle and John Gormau as i-‘elis Crackle, the two leading charac- ters. keep the audience in a continuous roar.
