Although skillfully executed, Sallie Bingham's story about a devout Roman Catholic practising Christian Science somehow lacks interest. The Advocate's fragments of Professor Whitman's translation of The Alcestis, with their alliteration and charming metre, seem very well done. Aside from this, however, this issue's poetry is unexciting. Paul Flanigan has written a "pretty" sonnet, expressing Keatsian sentiments with rather abstract words.

The Des Moines show proves that Midwestern collectors do not stick exclusively to such safe 19th century American classics as George Caleb Bingham, George Inness and Thomas Eakins, and the Midwest's Big Three, Grant Wood, Thomas Benton and John Steuart Curry. They are also willing to bet their money on modern European masters-Braque, Matisse, Henry Moore and Giacometti-and the still-debated U.S. Painters Max Weber and the late Yasuo...

...fails to convey the full significance of the magician's own transformation. Nancy Curtis is a perfect innocent as Miranda, and carries off some of the finest lines in the play with irreproachable style.
