...state once more, as you were when that palace was inhabited." Last week, having voted an overwhelming (79%) yes for De Gaulle's constitution, the Malagasy, as the inhabitants of Madagascar are known, took the general at his word. In Tananarive cannons boomed 123 times to proclaim that Madagascar had become the first French territory to opt for independence within the French community.

The play is indeed an anything-goes sort of script, and all too much of it goes awry. Perhaps the producers decided not to fret over the script, thinking that the nub of Drink lay in the staging, in what that master of accelerating insanity, George Abbott, could pipe into a yarn of careening drunkenness. Director Abbott and his downer of Scotch, Tom Poston, constitute the brighter side of the occasion. But Drink...
