These audio-visual flurries are imposed on the play and blow up any chance of dramatic development within scenes. They fragment the play and make it painfully obvious that the dialogue is also fragmented--little blips of exposition that are never again used, meaningless historical name-dropping. And the actual Lincoln speeches and quotes from Scripture that come from the loudspeakers when the play has one of its seizures make Kirstein's rhetoric look sick...
Since Tennyson first immortalized their suicidal attack, The Charge of the Light Brigade has been the inspiration for four blood-and-thunder films. Now Director Tony Richardson is trotting out a fifth version. Unable to shoot at Balaclava, actual site of the 1854 battle in the Crimea (it is now a Russian missile base), he set up his cameras in a suitably barren valley in Turkey, 30 miles from Ankara. There, for the past two months, he has led his all-star cast -David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave, Trevor Howard, Lawrence Harvey and John Gielgud-through mishap and mayhem. With...
Meanwhile, insured claims for the Detroit riot losses are estimated at $200 million, the largest yet. (Watts was $38 million, Newark $15 million.) Total damage could be considerably higher. Some damaged ghetto properties were considered uninsurable. Insurance generally covers only about half the actual property damage in most riots. Moreover, most policies do not cover personal riot injuries...
...outside critic cannot tell exactly how much a director has contributed to a player's performance and how much is the player's own. The director must here be held accountable for the actual text that is used--and Macbeth presents an unusually high number of textual problems. There are no Macbeth quartos; we have only the version in the First Folio, published some dozen and a half years after the play was written, and even this is a corrupt text. Furthermore, no other Shakespeare play has more lines that are ambiguous in their meaning...
Opponents argue that the supplements program is too costly because of its 40-years contract authority. A $5 million contract authorization, for example, really amounts to $5 million for 40 years, or a total of $200 million. The actual Government expenditure, however, would be less because its payments cease when the tenant can pay the full rent with 25 per cnt of his income...
