Sat., 4/5 Barry C. Silk

[magus]

THEME:   none, but 30 blocks
   
GOOD ONES:     
Crucible setting   LAB [I thought the play and paid no attention to the missing "The"]   
Wind up on a stage?   OBOE [short i]   
   
BTW:   
Crossing LARS with EADS is unsporting though I guessed LARS because it's a familiar name.   
   
Crossing YAY with NYS is also unsportsmanlike given "Mt. Marcy" is hardly Mt. Rushmore and YAY is anybody's guess.   
   
[lest you think my carping is sour grapes, I solved this guy perfectly in ink]   
   
   
RATING:    
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
