New York drama critics heaped praise on the Ontario group for its performance of Christopher Mar- lowe's drama of bloodshed and tyranny, "Tamburlaine the Great," which began an eight-weeks en- gagement at the Winter Garden theatre. Of this city's four morning news- papers, only The Herald Tribune was less than enthusiastic about, the Ontario group's production.
