...Eater. A ship designed to keep waterways that usually freeze open all winter has been patented by Engineer Frank C. Ehinger, 79, of Adrian, Mich. Circular saws mounted like plow disks in front of the ship cut the ice. It is forced back up a ramp into the ship, crushed to cocktail-size chips and spewed clear of the chan nel through a pipe. Ehinger says an oil company, which he will not name, has bought the rights to build...
...virtues of this show well outweigh its faults. The costumes, designed by Tony Duquette and Adrian, and Oliver Smith's sets combine with lighting by Feder and choreography by Hanya Holm to produce several extremely effective scenes. In a way, it's a case of something being so far Out that it's In: often, one is repelled by large amounts of money spent on garish costuming and lavish sets, but producers Lerner, Loewe, and Moss Hart have obviously spent so much money, and spent it so well, that the result is a pleasure...
...forgotten that Costume Designer Adrian had died soon after beginning work on the show last year. A wardrobe mistress' husband was found dead in their New York apartment. The chief electrician was hospitalized with bladder trouble. Actor Burton took on a virus that almost choked off his singing voice, and the traditional "company cold" spread to Sir Lancelot (Robert Goulet), was even worse in Boston than Toronto. A chorus girl ran a needle through her foot onstage. Frederick Loewe, who himself suffered a severe heart attack two years ago, was temporarily felled by influenza. "We are all quitting," said...
...ducting talent to appear in England since Sir Thomas himself rose to fame. He is not a spectator's conductor. A solidly built, shock-haired man with a Mozartean profile, he conducts spiritedly but has none of the balletic exuberance of Bernstein or the smooth elegance of Sir Adrian Boult or the icily imperious quality of Reiner. Nor are his performances flamboyantly colored: where Beecham's Mozart tends to be effusively loving, Davis' is simple end unaffected. He combines grace with precision, gravity with rhythmic bite...
Handel: Acis & Galatea (Joan Sutherland, Peter Pears, Owen Brannigan, David Galliver; Philomusica of London with the St. Anthony Singers, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult; London). A slightly cut version of the masque that became the most popular of Handel's works in his own lifetime. The score is fresh and frothy, the choral numbers a wonder of vocal crosshatching, and the performance controlled and clear. Soprano Sutherland trills her lines with transparent ease...
