...Morley, sounding boxy and if it needed a chorus one quarter the size of the tour group, some incongrously Western-sounding "Asian" songs, and choruses from La Reine Indigo, by Johann Strauss, Jr. The saving grace of these choruses were some absurdly ornate soprano solos, masterfully executed by Carlotta Wilsen. Like the other successful pieces on the program, the Strauss was impressive primarily for its animation and coherence; when Asian Tour 1967 achieves these qualities more consistently it will be a fine performing group...
Performing the Requiem was a carefully picked group of musicians. Adams recruited the chorus of sixty from the Glee Club, Radcliffe Choral Society, and the University Choir. The modest orchestra da chiesa contained some of Harvard's most respected undergraduate musicians. Of the four soloists, soprano Carlotta Wilsen conducts the Radcliffe Freshmen Chorus, tenor Henry Gibbons is the music tutor of Lowell House, and bass David Ripley is a freshman. Adams thus refuted the current contention that a major choral-orchestral work cannot be performed at Harvard without importing most of the necessary musicians from the outside...
...Carlotta Wilsen combined flexibility with an ability to draw out sustained passages in a fine performance of the soprano arias. Don Meaders was forceful and poised singing Herod. As the Evangelist, Henry Gibbons sang with ease and lucid diction; his performance was solidly musical at every point...
Journey had been bid for by most major studios (with offers as high as $500,000 for the script alone), but Carlotta Monterey O'Neill, widow of the playwright, guarded her husband's works diligently. She was so impressed by the Landau-Lumet production of The Iceman Cometh on television's Play of the Week series that she entrusted to Landau the TV-movie rights to a sizable O'Neill portfolio: all of the plays that have reverted to her control. Landau hopes soon to film more O'Neill, with top casts and directors...
...fireplace in a Boston hotel room. By nature what the psychological men call a "moody" fellow, O'Neill could scarcely have felt much warmth from the flames. As anyone who has appreciated Joan of Arc knows, fire does have its mystical aspects, and with the help of ever-solicitous Carlotta, O'Neill sat up, grasped a sheaf of papers in his palsied hands and thrust it to the flames. No telling what was in the five plays so carefully dispatched by the man who made them; O'Neill considered the stuff worthless. He certainly fixed the scholars probing his socioneuro...
