Michael McClure, American poet, playwright of The Beard

Oct. 10, 1968 - Stars Of The Sophisticated Play The Beard Take A Lunch-Hour Stroll: The two characters in the play The Beard, Billie Dixon, who plays the part of Jean Harlow, and Richard Bright, who plays the legendary gunman Billie the Kid, took time off from rehearsals for a stroll in Sloane Square, London, today. The play so sophisticated that it will not be performed until 1030 at night, opens at the Royal Court Theatre, Sloane Square, on Nov. 4th. In America the cast of The Beard were arrested twenty times and accused of indecency, but each time the cry of culture had enable the play to continue. Its mission in London is expected to be easier now that theatre censorship has been ended, but no one under eighteen will be allowed in the theatre.
