...king. However, though he often considered the possibility of the coup, in books and in the pages of his movement's newspaper (also called Action Francaise), it is doubtful that he ever actually planned a revolution; on the one occasion which fate presented to his grasp--the riots before Chamber on February 6, 1934--he did nothing. Professor Weber calls the 6 fevrier a "victory lost." Murras's hesitation at what seemed the very gates of power--though this impression was exaggerated--was as Professor Weber says, "the moment of truth which showed up the emptiness of almost everyone...
...Spirit. Mayuzumi, 34, has already written some highly admired symphonic music (The Nirvana Symphony, Bacchanale) and some chamber work, but Bugaku is his first ballet score.

Cosmopolitan Washington has its Recorder Society, Foggy Bottom Chamber Music Group, and Potomac English Handbell Ringers. And Manhattan, naturally, has an ad-agency outfit called The Many Splendored Stompers, whose theme song is Man in a Gray Flannel Stomp...
...raging as the picture begins. Society is collapsing, but prostitution is undisturbed. "Sometimes as a theater, sometimes as a church." the Madam (Shelley Winters) proclaims, "this house will always be here." In the film the house is situated in a film studio, in a pavilion of illusions. One chamber is arranged as a hall of justice: in it an office worker, satanic in black robes, buys the illusion that he is a judge and cruelly extracts a confession of a prostitute (Ruby Dee). A second chamber is arranged as a chapel: in it a gas-meter reader, in miter...
