Denzel was a good Hickey. Of course, I drank Jameson's throughout the play. David Morse was a good Larry Slade but I had just watched Robert Ryan in the role. Morse also looked like Steve Bannon.



Anchor Bar: great wings, lousy service, lousy Beef-on-Weck. The roll had no au jus and no caraway seeds.

On-Line at TKTS, South Street Seaport for today's The Iceman Cometh Matinée. I'll see if Denzel is a better Hickey than Lee Marvin.

Robert Ryan is outstanding in the ATF production.

LARRY--(with a sardonic grin) What is it? It's the No Chance Saloon. It's Bedrock Bar, The End of the Line Café, The Bottom of the Sea Rathskeller! Don't you notice the beautiful calm in the atmosphere? That's because it's the last harbor. No one here has to worry about where they're going next, because there is no farther they can go. It's a great comfort to them. Although even here they keep up the appearances of life with a few harmless pipe dreams about their yesterdays and tomorrows, as you'll see for yourself if you're here long.



I still had it in my library. $1.95!



Solo will be seen tomorrow.
