...Schwab will follow the established "Muny" pattern, change operas every Monday during the twelve-week season.* Teresina was a sterile, tuneless start last week but the direction at least was blameless. While Schwab's pretty wife amazed St. Louis by playing golf in scanty shorts and a sunback bandanna, her husband rehearsed tirelessly for 14 hours a day. Producer Schwab's costume: baggy slacks, sweat shirt, worn felt hat. His results: a smooth performance, with no muffed lines, no backstage clatter, no long stage waits...
...sody-water do instead?" Psalm-singing Daniel Drew, credited with inventing "watered stock" (cattle made artificially thirsty, then, to increase their weight, given all the water they could drink just before being sold), had other tricks up his sleeve.

But even this fact will not deter a reader of Claudia from wondering...
...mother, Mrs. Anne ("Fifi") Stillman, is a gypsyesque person. On the Grande Anse estate in Quebec she moves about with her short dark hair in a bandanna and her legs bare and browned above mannish socks. She is a sort of Empress to the "primitives" of the surrounding wilderness. They do her lightest bidding because they regard her, informal and feline, as their equal on their own ground, plus much mysterious charm and knowledge from an unimaginable outer world of limousines, libraries, lingerie and grand manners. Her wealth seems fabulous to them, inspiring not envy but institutional faith. They prefer...
