...Nutcracker Suite is to Christmas as fireworks are to the Fourth of July, and this Christmas nearly a half million people will see Tchaikovsky's classic ballet. Last weekend the Boston Ballet, supported by guest stars from Ballanchine's New York City Ballet, gave three performances. Despite its popularity, the derogatory comments heaped on the ballet at its first performance in St. Petersburg in 1892 are still true. The music though lyrical, is Tchaikovsky at his most saccharine; the choreoraphy of Pea, the Russian master, and his assistant Ivanov, allows a lot of room for horseplay and very little...
After playing Ivy teams in Buffalo two years ago, and Boston teams in the Arena last winter, the Harvard hockey team is getting a Christmas-break treat: an all-expenses-paid trip to the St. Paul, Minn., Hockey Classic. There it will join Boston College, Colorado College and the University of North Dakota in a two-night (December 27-28) tournament that should be an interesting experience, if not what the doctor prescribed to recover from Monday night's shell-shocking...
...This "Classic" was organized two years ago by St. Paul citizens who wanted something "big time" to match the sports attractions landing in twin rival Minneapolis. For three years the idea has theoretically been to match the best teams in the East with the best in the West, but this is the first year the promoters have come close. Like most sports promotion ventures in their infancy, however, finances have also been a major consideration, and for "best," one must often read "team with the lowest price tag that will be a good draw...
...hockey team is the only Harvard squad with competition scheduled for the Christmas break. The basketball team is usually entered in a tournament, but the best Athletic Director Adolph Samborski could come up with this season is the "Bluenose Classic" in Halifax, Nova Scotia, over January 5-6. The hoopsters have gotten few breaks so far: on their slate of seven pre-Ivy games they got to play Navy here. But they got stuck with a ridiculous string of road trips, to Wesleyan, Williams, and the University of New Hampshire. The other three games are home, saving them treks...
With each passing year, Rodin emerges more clearly as the most profound, most expressively varied sculptor since Michelangelo, and here is a book that demonstrates why. In one superb photograph after another, the reader can trace the astonishing career of an artist who, though basically in the great classic tradition of Western sculpture, broke through formal bonds all his life. The text, an admirably incisive critique, enhances this tribute to Rodin on the 50th anniversary of his death...
