Broadway Notes on Strindberg and Merriwell at the Ritz and Jones Beach
Drama reviewer JACK GAVER critiques the Ritz production of August Strindberg's Dance of Death starring Rip Torn and Viveca Lindfors as a failed direction and incomplete adaptation. He also pans the Frank Merriwell musical for weak libretto and songs, recalling a stronger off Broadway 1937 parody. Constance Towers returns in The Sound of Music at Jones Beach, with Guy Lombardo hosting a summer run, noting Carmen Lombardo's death earlier in the year.
