...burnt of the burden fell on four institutions: the Cambridge Drama Festival in the new Metropolitan Boston Arts Center Theatre; the Group 20 Players in Wellesley's Theatre-on-the-Green; the Boston Summer Playhouse in the Charles Playhouse on Boston's Warrenton Street; and the Tufts Arena Theatre on the Tufts campus in Medford. In addition, Harvard itself was the site of one production, staged by a group of energetic students; and M.I.T. presented a one-man theatrical evening...

And Will Steven Armstrong's settings for Rousillon are rather colorless (except in the finale), compared with the blues and golds of Paris and the burnt oranges and ochres of Florence.

For wives, the moral is clear: if a husband begins to doodle, draw your own conclusions...
...weekend familiarity with burnt sienna and chrome yellow, Sunday Painter Dwight Eisenhower is an uneasy critic of other people's artistic output-especially when it includes political undertones. Last week at the presidential press conference, Maine Newshen May Craig asked Ike's opinion of the art section of the American National Exhibition in Moscow, which is, somewhat belatedly, being scrutinized by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (34 of the 67 artists represented, the committee charged, "have records of affiliations with Communist fronts and causes"). Ike's answer was rough going...
