...Blandish was as different from the old Grand Guignol classics as a Tommy gun is from a thumbscrew. Amid knifings and kneeings, kidnaping and murder, the meaty blonde Miss Blandish (Nicole Riche) spent most of two hours in panties and bra, successfully pursued by drooling Gangster Slim Grisson (Jean-Marc Tennberg). A moving touch for Grand Guignol fans: Old Ma Grisson, the boss of the gang, beats Miss Blandish into submission with a rubber hose so that Slim won't be annoyed by her cries when he rapes...

...roomy, rococo City Center theater (converted from an old Shrine auditorium), the curtain went up on Marc Chagall's Firebird sets, and the audience gasped with pleasure. The brilliant red-and-blue sets, commissioned four years ago by Impresario Sol Hurok for Ballet Theatre, had been picked up by low-budget City Center at cut-rate. But the sets, gay though they were, were the oldest feathers on the new Firebird...
