...three quarters hours at legal speeds, via the Massachusetts Turnpike, Interstate 86 and 91, and the Connecticut Turnpike to Exit 32 to 31. Performances in the air-conditioned theatre tend to start promptly at the designated hour. There are facilities for picnickers on the premises, and four minstrels sing and play on the lawn for half an hour before curtain...
