...Koran. Even today Moslems refuse to consider Christianity a monotheistic faith because of this early misreading of Christ. Nor could Mohammed, for whom it was unthinkable that God would let his prophet suffer ignominy and defeat at the hands of his detractors, accept Christ's immolation: crucifixion was no proper fate for a prophet. So Moslem tradition holds that someone, perhaps Judas, took Christ's place on the Cross...
...scaffolding came down last week, a Crucifixion scene stood revealed (see cut), with angels in attendance, the Madonna at right clad in blue robes edged with gold, two as yet unidentified female saints at left and a portrait, probably of the Bishop donor...
...progress report on where U.S. painters are trending. Confirming the southward migration of painters, Mrs. Halpert found Rome bursting with energy and independence, with Americans leading the way.

...LaFrance, as the Prioress of the Convent, was an impressive combination of patience, understanding, and mild authority. Margaret Smith as the crotchety but good-hearted Mistress of Novices rendered the part excellently--quite as well, I thought, as it was done in New York. And Carol Ganem, as "Sister Crucifixion," captured that character's holier-than-thou attitude very well. In the second act, however, she failed to demonstrate the latent love and sympathy that should surge up when she says farewell to Teresa...
