Prospero's two servants, Ariel and Caliban, represent his control over the upper elements (air and fire) and the lower elements (earth and water). Ariel being half angel and Caliban half beast, the two constitute the termini of Shakespeare's world of humans. Clayton Corzatte, new to the company, is a model Ariel. He is lithe and clean, with an appositely light and attractive tenor voice (for both speech and song).

Tales and Last Tales (TIME, Nov. 4). In Babette's Feast, a French cook wins a small fortune in a lottery and spends every penny of it showing her staid, stingy Norse employers what a real meal can be.

Dominating the cast--and perhaps unfortunately so for the play as a whole--were Patricia Leatham and D. J. Sullivan as Ariel and Caliban. Miss Leatham presented not only a remarkable appearance, but the correct mixture of piquancy, wisdom, and authority for her part. Sullivan's passionate interpretation of the monster was so gripping in itself, that it sometimes displaced the attention of the audience from the more important roles...
