The movie's arty opening and closing scenes, which suggest that we are watching a play within...
More than a thousand courses in stained glass are now available in public schools, museums, Y.M.C.A.s, art centers, colleges and private studios throughout the U.S. After Artist Don Davidson started teaching stained-glass works as a pilot project for 25 fifth-and sixth-graders at Houston's Luther Burbank elementary school, parents clamored successfully for their own afterschool classes. Louisiana State University is offering a full-time course in the medium for undergraduates. At North Adams, Mass., an institute sponsored by the Hoosuck Corporation, a nonprofit organization that promotes design-oriented manufacturing businesses, has just completed a two-week...
