The food was gorgeous, the drinks more than generous, and after seeing the Mongins%u2019 house 1 wanted to demolish mine, brick by brick.Over dinner, the conversation went from wallpaper and plumbing to the feasibility of a constitutional democracy, with Captain Brogan strongly in favor. Stan and Penny knew just when to bring out the Viennese coffee and Italian cookies.At 7:30, Stan whisked us off toSiope Piayers Set Musical%u201c Nemiah Hotep%u2019s Raisin Farm,\an original musical for all ages, will be presented by The Gallery Players of Park Slope at the Old Reformed Church, Carroll Street and Seventh Avenue, Brooklyn, in May and June.

The ballet is reviewed elsewhere in this issue, so I'll leave the critique to a professional; but it really was very well done, notably the Hans van Manen piece, in which costuming, choreography and music worked perfectly.After the Ballet, we were off again - this time to Michel's Restaurant on Flatbush Avenue, whose decor is sort of Bette Davis-meets-Celeste Holm-forlunch-in %u201c All About Eve.\And there we were, all 70-or-so of us, Pas-de-Deuxing it up in Michel%u2019sCabaret, currently featuring Claiborne Cary and her accompanist, Franklin Roosevelt Underwood, and Ronn> Whyte.Like Reno Sweeney's in the Village. Michel's is reviving the chanteuse-room, and Miss Carv fits right in; Mr. Underwood takes over between sets. He plays a zippy piano and belts out his own matching lyrics, often rather provacative.As 1 was preparing to leave, I looked around the room. I couldn't tell the cops from the hosts or the guests. And that, I suppose, was the point.Hts.
