BAT MASTERSON'S LAST REGULAR JOB Bill Ballantyne Toronto, Playwrights Union of Canada, 1989. 96pp, paper, $9.95 ISBN 0-88754-482-7. CIP Grades 10 and up/Ages 15 and up Reviewed by Alan Thomas. Volume 18 Number 3 1990 May This play is built on the hype and pretence of sport as business. The time is the summer of 1913. In New York, Jess Willard, a big country boy, is being promoted for a heavyweight boxing match with Gunboat Smith by a pair of promoters, one with little success, one with little experience. Bat Masterson, an aging hero of the West, is called on to be celebrity referee. When he arrives for the event the position has gone to Wyatt Earp. The play has a lively flow of language and the characters and their situation are well established. Sadly lacking is an action or character to point the idea, and the effect remains that of a sketch, suggestive but undeveloped. Alan Thomas, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ont.
