...best colleges in the country, Melody Workshop in Berkeley, Calif, seemed an ideal nursery school. It was run by imaginative Lila Joralemon, 35, who considers bright preschoolers capable of more than mindless play. Using music-a sure fascinator for children aged 3½ to 5-she taught the alphabet, French, good manners and good music itself.

In Victor Herbert's Sweethearts, he confided to the audience: "Never was a thin plot so complicated." When informed in Moliere's The Would-Be Gentleman that the alphabet is divided into vowels and consonants, he rejoined: "That's only fair."
