seemingly slew the orrupt
Tammany Tiger. Perhaps it is
better that LaGuardia did not
live long after his three terms

seen Tammany sweep back in

But Fiorello, in keeping with
the formal for musicals, leaves
the show : goer feeling happy.
Fiorello marries his long pat
lent secretary. He becomes the
most dynamic Mayor New York
has ever known. He charms the
Italians, the Jews by talking to
them in their dialects. Though
a Republican he sides with
strikers against their sweat-shop
bosses. He goes to war to fight
against tie Hun.
Unusually edifying for mus
ical, Fiorello gives one an in

skulduggery of big city mach
ines. Criminals consort with

a delicious and enlightening

THEAT RE
FIORELLO, RHINOCEROS &
SHAKESPEARE
by
Cyrus Adler

What with New York being a
Summer Festival and having an
unflagging girl friend, l have
neglected those readers of this
paper eagerly craving enlighten-
ment in the form of theatrical
reviews. l saw two plays in
June worthy of comment: Flo
relic and Rhinoceros, plus two
Shakspearean comedies in July
and August.
Rhinoceros has since beloved
to a close, but that should not
dissuade a few words about it.
Ionesco established his reputa-
ton as the rear guard of the
Dadist movement. In his latest
thrust at sequitur and rational
lily everyone except a rather
inept clerk in a GRUMPY French
town turns into Rhinocerous.
The herds 60 roaring through
the streets while our hero drinks
to his individuality. It all beats
me pourquoi
Most eff the New York critics
read d e e p messages of mans
fight for individuality into the
peculiar Ionesco happenings. l
