Giraudoux's play needs Miss Singewald. Its concave philosophy -- the rich, destructive, conformist bad guys against the poor, poetic good guys -- wouldn't float in the Dead Sea without a strong focus on the heroine. For example, it all comes right in the second act, as three madwomen (Miss Singewald, Valerie Clark, and Carla Barringer) amicably enter Miss Singewald's basement to plan the elimination of the world's evil men.

Midway in a number, the burly, quick-tempered Mingus would peer fearsomely from behind his bass and roar, "Go on, go on, blow something!" Recalls Handy: "I was too scared not to play something startling...
...designers. His clothes are country and casual, designed specifically for a tawny blonde whom he describes as "a bit of a conformist but a woman who dares a little at night." A brunette like Manhattan's Louise Savitt also looks good in them. French-born Jacques Tiffeau, 38, is famed for his astute suits and his imaginative use of wools in evening gowns, which he designs for Monte-Sano & Pruzan as well as Tiffeau & Busch. He feels "a woman should have more personality than her clothes, but that's rare...
