...help his company along, Arthur Mitchell was forced to turn choreographer; almost by accident he has thus established himself as the most promising dance creator to emerge from the Balanchine ranks in recent years. Fete Noire, based on a Shostakovitch score, is a neoclassic Russian romp set in some imaginary imperial salon. At once crisp and buoyant, it demonstrates how well Mitchell has grasped the real secret of Balanchine's genius-the mastery of the logic and geometry of bodies in motion. By contrast, Mitchell's Rhythmetron is a throbbing, stylized Afro-Latin tribal ritual...
...drawing can liberate it. That phenomenon was not lost on Walt Disney, whose cartoons reveal a freedom noticeably absent from his "live" comedies. Nor is it lost on Chuck Jones, perhaps the foremost observer of the Disney fun factory. Scenarist-Director Jones, illustrator of many a Bugs Bunny and creator of Roadrunner, is the animating force behind The Phantom Tollbooth, his first full-length feature. It is based on Norton Juster's ten-year-old classic juvenile novel...

At Warren's hands, the ambiguous Melville begins to make sense...
...more handsomely than the late Margery Allingham, who, along with Dame Agatha Christie and the late Dorothy Sayers, dominated a golden age of suspense that began in England after World War I. Her aristocratic sleuth, Mr. Albert Campion, survived four decades, 20 books and dozens of malefactors before his creator died in 1966. Even then, he did not retire immediately. Allingham's plots are full of Lazaruses. Taking that as his cue, the author's husband, Philip Youngman Carter, revived Mr. Campion for two more books until he too died in December 1969. Mr. Campion's Quarry...
