...otherwise adorning the likes of Liza Minnelli, Josephine Baker and Capucine. The performers, together with ordinary mannequins, would stage a kind of high-budget vaudeville called "Le Grand Divertissement à Versailles." The money? Ah, yes, patrons like the Baroness Marie-Hélène de Rothschild would angel the operation, and people like Amanda Burden, Princess Grace, the Charles Revsons and Karim Aga Khan would lend their glamorous names as sponsors. Last week it all happened, more or less as planned. But as with the 1770 fireworks, there was rain on the big parade. In fact, the preparations preceding...
...Playboy and Out, archrivals of Publisher Bob Guccione's Penthouse. She was featured as one of Playboy's "Girls of Munich" in August 1972, an exposure that won her a spot on Oui's November 1972 cover and a centerfold spread inside ("Marlene: The Blonde Angel"). Which is again odd, because Guccione refuses to photograph models for Penthouse who have appeared nude elsewhere. He also insists that his models give their real names for publication. Does he feel he was snookered into running pictures of a Playboy and Out veteran, and a falsely named one at that...
Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet (Cleveland Orchestra, Lorin Maazel, conductor; London; 3 LPs; $17.94. London Symphony Orchestra, Andre Previn, conductor; Angel; 3 LPs; $17.98).

Both sets manage to confirm that this is the finest evening-length ballet score since Tchaikovsky. Neither, as it happens, quite equals the poetry and passion of Charles Munch...
...Neill seemed to write as if God (or the Devil) had given him life for just one reason: to shout with every breath that all was a ghastly mistake. "Froth! Rotten!" were his actor father's dying lines, and the playwright son with the eyes of a fallen angel carried on the refrain. "The Great Sickness" was among O'Neill's milder epithets for human existence...
...Rippe's engines look as if they might have provided the angel Morani's means of levitation. There are about twelve of them, large ceramic pyramids crowned with shiny lengths of copper pipe and arcs of lavender plastic tubing. They bristle with brass nozzles and colored buttons and toggle switches. Overlaid on their basic gray-green, Boston beanpot color are gleaming red and blue zigzags, rows of tiny gold stars, and a gaudy, iridescent rainbow glaze. They have no discernible source of power and no visible moving parts, though at least one of them (The Rippe 1921 Virgin Gas Engine...
