Policewomen Pass On O'Neil's 'Prostitutes'

Cantabrigians can still see Eugene O'Neill's "Desire Under the Elms" at the Brattle Minus a few lewd words and questionable pantomimes. The two Cambridge policewomen who reviewed the production Wednesday night found little deviation from the morality code and all was "very amiably settle."

The most extensive change was in Act II, Scene 3, when a kiss on the floor was shifted to an embrace on the couch. A few words were modified and according to director Harry Weinstein. "We cut all the whores and changed them to hariots."
