...MASTER BUILDER (Caedmon). No single drama of Ibsen's is more Freudian, and hence accessible to the modern mind. The play is a situation tragedy, and the symbols bleed. Solness, the artist-builder-husband, is vile in his self-absorption, and pitiable as he watches the tide of his creativity ebb. His wife is stifling and stifled. The young girl Hilde Wangel is Solness' mirage of the second chance, lost youth, lost inspiration, lost love recovered. But life is a role that man cannot rehearse or reverse. Sir Michael Redgrave as Solness thunders, hisses and froths like...
MORGAN! A misfit artist tries to woo back his divorced wife by behaving like King Kong in a hilarious, offbeat comedy that might easily run amuck except for polished clowning by David Warner and Vanessa Redgrave, two of Britain's showiest young stars...

Polly (Shirly Knight) runs metabolism tests because the money ran out for her doctor's education, and keeps a delightfully insane father. Priss (Elizabeth Hartman) worked for NRA, then...
...painting is being reassessed with a large exhibition at the Albany Institute of History and Art.* Historically, Church ranks as virtually the last of the Hudson River School. A pupil of Thomas Cole, he took as a personal command Emerson's clarion call to the American artist to reveal the hidden spirituality of the universe, to create art worthy of a new continent. Most of his generation traveled to the Old World; Church forayed into the New. Instead of Europe, he visited Ecuador, hacked through jungles, inspected volcanoes, navigated rivers, making hundreds of drawings of nature...
