...fitted to the steel frame of Mutual Insurance Co. of Hartford's new office building. In place, the bas-relief will serve as a 110-ft.-long wall over the building's main entrance. It is an abstraction with overtones of cubism -an endless procession of angular, cloudy, faceless figures that seem to shift, melt and glide...
After quickly passing over the distracting decadence displayed on the cover of the Registration Issue of the Advocate (a cover strewn with stems, a sword, knife, bottles, brushes, legs, a violin bow, its violin, all complementing a long, angular girl fiddling in a proper literary manner, while the world burns) one finds little of much interest inside the magazine.

Miss Linch's voice, while never becoming harsh, possesses just the right quality to project the rather angular music which Menotti has written to depict the spiritualist's descent into horror. And Miss Blanchard, whose singing carries a lovely, lyrical quality did not faulter for a moment even in the highest passages. Her rendition of the ballad-like piece which opens the opera was entirely captivating. Both young women, furthermore, are not only fine singers but actresses...
