...professor, seems capable enough though, in view of his large experience, he too is a little disappointing. His character possesses two sides: poet and, ultimately, shrewd businessman. The merchant is present in his performance from the beginning, but somehow the role never grows quite large enough. The veteran actress Cornelia Otis Skinner, on the other hand, adds one more to her long list of impressive performances in the part of Undershaft's rather stupid, tradition-bound and yet charming wife...
...Church on May 13 by Harvard and Radcliffe freshman choruses. Titled by Haydn a Mass in D-Minor, it is nevertheless drawn more often than not, like Bach's B-Minor Mass, into the happy and festive key of D-Major. Performance enormously impressive. First two parts conducted by Cornelia Davenport, last three by Allan Miller. Choristers obviously very carefully rehearsed; tone lacked full-bodied resonance, but mustn't expect from them the quality of Mr. Woodworth's varsity singers. Vocal soloists adequate for the most part. No small amount of the overall impressiveness due to the marvelous parts...
...Macon, Ga. and Champaign, 111. have experimented with a phonic system developed by a Texas schoolteacher named Cornelia Sloop. This also starts with vowel sounds, then goes on to consonants, and within a few weeks, to the rules of spelling. Last year Champaign found that while 43.4% of the pupils taught by the standard method scored below the nation al reading level, the score for the Sloop-trained pupils was only 20.7% below...
...Mass, by Haydn, and Bach's Wir Sctzen Uns from the St. Matthew Passion. A freshman chamber orchestra accompanied the Passions' magnificent lullaby. The two choruses sang well together; in the future they should join forces for a larger portion of their joint concerts. Both Miller and Radcliffe's Cornelia Davenport conducted with an agreeable lack of interpretive mannerisms. They deserve credit for building the freshman choruses into a fine musical organization...
...week's end, the American Revolution got another light working over: this time in NBC's bright revival of Rodgers and Hart's 1925 musical, Dearest Enemy, with Anne Jeffreys and Cornelia Otis Skinner as pretty rebels and Robert Sterling and Cyril Ritchard as happily hoodwinked British officers...
