Superb leprechaun Joan Payne can take that wondrous wand of hers and 'pronounce for THE HYPHEN, smashing runs on O Connell Street, B roadway, and Drury Lane, bobbing most of the cast along in the streams jolly gurgle. THE HYPHEN often appears to be exploring the compatibility of opposites. The philosophically inclined in the audience will encounter some - consternation here, because Mr. Corwin goes just so tar. He is much too funny, much too brisk to speculate deeply; and it is exactly this jabbing, then joshing, which we find ourselves happily devouring. When a pixie and a research scientist begin fuming about whether fantasy or technology Is more important for coatem-pora- ry and future mankind, can become terribly they Most of us already funny. acknowledge that it has entailed both supernatural inspiration and arduous technique to produce a diversity of 'things dear....including a poem,a can opener, a cupcake, a religion, a violin, or a baby. the F.E.P.C. Somehow, Employment ('Fairy ' Cod ebook) and the dialogue manage to allude to nits and Bits of Emerson, the Egyptians, Einstein, C. P. Snow and Freud; the miracle is that all are beautifully integrated. Perhaps the laboratory scene is lagging, Act Two is rather predictable, and the psychiatrist scaie is too shallow to be anything more than punny... but these comparative flaws are mostly attributable to the sharp repartee pace set in all the other scenes.

David Jones and Basil Anton, as the leprechaun spy and Space Agency spy, emphasize the fairy and scientist dichotomy. Dr. Jones exercises his choleric suspicion and gay Irish brogue, while Mr. Anton Stan is quite the poker-fac- e. ley Russon has found an appropriate role as the rubberfaced, incredulous general, as some of his own employs meditative ennui in his role as the psychiatrist.

After losing the pert and sassy Mab, Dr. Bigelows contentment with the Mary is more tragic than comic! Mab must expire temporarily to absolve her sin of falling in love with a mortal, so when Boy Finds GirL it is Marys scene.... a cruel twist. Matts spirit is supposedly embodied in Mary now, but unfortunately Mr. Corwin fails to persuade us there is any imp in this stiff. Bringing off the unlikely composite of suave, cajoling playboy and humanitarian researcher is almost forbidding but not for William Shatner. His tongue is rather deeply imbedded in his cheek, makes us wonder which whether science is amply supported in his performance. And if he is so quickly 'with the likes of Mary, what is restraining his libido when Mab is around, other magically-impos- ed than a charleyhorse? He is obviously healthy, boyishly gallant, and attractive; so why should we believe he has a 'passion for cold things? Even with these character problems, Mr. Shatners success is rampant.
