the biennial appropriation of the legislature should follow the en

By George Abbott.
When director Armand Hunter
said that the University Theatre's
presentation of Maxwell Ander
son's "Key Largo" promised to be
the "biggest" production of the
current season, he had no idea just
how big, how new, and how much
appreciated his experiment in ex
pres.sioni.stic interpretation was to
be. It was "big," it was new, and
it was definitely appreciated. The
opening night audience ate it up.

Black, in the role of a politically

the most thrilling moments in
the drama, with Soldevilla, in
the role of Murillo, consistently
threatening to "get rid" of
