"CARNIVEROUS Rehearsal for "Tiger at the Gates" was interrupted the other ni;rht when two strange charoters walked into the R.U.B. and demanded a tryout of Director Grove. They claimed to be Tony the Tiger and the Esso Tiger. Rehearsal was immediately stopped while Grove tried to explain to them that there was no part for a tiger in "Tiger at the Gates". He tried to explain the meaning of symbolism but this only upset the two tigers who began to growl and yell grrreat. One tiger claimed he had an old trick lie used to do in Eurlesque years ago. Something aLout climbjng in a tank. He claired that he had sold the trick to a motor oil company and he didn't see why it couldn't be used here. As it turned, an irate Grove thumLeci them out of the place and rehearsal went on. When asked later why he didn't give them a part Grove, said, " You always have to expect some wise guy to come around with a crazy gim mick when you're trying to do a show. A tiger in a tank?"
