Ernst had a distinct prophetic faculty: immersed in the 20th century and lacking any nostalgia, he could feel what was coming. The ruins of The Petrified City (1933) are both an aftertaste of the first World War and a foretaste of the second, and The Angel of Earth (1937), a monster prancing in devouring rage across a flat landscape, had more than a fortuitous connection with the advance of fascism. In Europe After the Rain (1940-42), Ernst produced a vision of spongy, iridescent ruins that deserves a place with Picasso's Guernica as one of the supreme documents...
...Actor Richard Burton continues his sellout run in the Broadway play Equus, Daughter Kate Burton, 18, has staged her own theatrical debut. Kate, a Brown University freshman whose mother is Richard's first wife, Sybil Christopher, speaks six lines in her college's production of Look Homeward, Angel."I don't know if I'll continue acting," she says.

It's an impressive spectacle, a testament to the superb technical direction that characterizes the Leverett House Arts Society's production of Doctor Faustus. Unlike most Houses, Leverett has its own theatre, and director Evangeline Morphos has made the most of its facilities, skillfully transforming the entire room into a three-dimensional world where the forces of evil clash colorfully with...
Also excellent is Nancy Abrams' rendering of the Bad Angel. Sinuously tempting and later sneering with triumph, Abrams is so much more convincing that her heavenly counterpart that it's easy to figure out why this Faustus opts for hell. Jenny Marre is enticing in several cameo roles--she plays everyone from Belzebub to a lisping, pregnant duchess--but she's a bit too pudgy as Helen of Troy...
