Amid the growing tension, New Orleans' police reinforced their cordon around the school. That only seemed to make the mob angrier. Reporters and photographers were attacked. The Rev. Jerome Drolet, a Catholic priest who accompanied the Foremans to school one morning, was met with cries of "bastard," "Communist" and "nigger lover." Restlessly, the mob moved to the Foremans' frame cottage, stoned the family's black-and-white dog. "Look," cried one woman, "even their dog's integrated." When police shooed the women away, they went to a hospitable neighbor's lawn, where self-styled "cheerleaders...
...Caucasian city is overthrown and his wife forced to abandon their child. Grusha, a simple peasant girl, rescues him, carries him to the distant home of her brother, pursued all the way by Ironshirts, and eventually marries a dying man so that the child will not be raised a bastard. The peasant she marries is not dead, but merely lying in bed for a year to escape the draft, so when Simon, her betrothed, returns from the war to claim her, she must tell him that she has broken her promise...

...sheathe his sword, after last season in which too many couldn't extract their weapons. Choreographer Theresa Dickinson provided some pleasing dances, and outstanding movement by the policemen's chorus. Offspring of Sir Robert Peel, they and their well-shined escutcheons boast a bend sinister--they are clearly bastard descendants of Mack Sennett. The Keystone Cops had nothing on this crew in hilarity, and DcVoto should get a medieval medal for putting some of their lines into Gregorian chant...
