...inventing this super-hero Lang created an adventure film whose marvels illustrated a deep and true vision of life. He refused to people Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler (1922) with the cardboard Bonds and Flints of today's adventure fantasies. Every character is a complex personality. In one gambling house de Witt, hunting "the Great Unknown," is distracted by the sight of an extraordinary woman, the Countess Tolst. He leaves the card table to walk to the couch on which she reposes. In two minutes Lang gives us her soul. We see no shallow temptress, no abstract sentimental heroine. The countess...
...only director really dealing with human intelligence, Lang consructed for Mabuse deep sets whose fantastic decor reveals the imaginations of the characters. The Countess's extremely broad and deep rooms are filled with African masks and huge primitive statues which she wonderfully explains in the words, "My brother is a cubist."

Within the first two hours, gusty 20-m.p.h. winds caused at least a dozen boats to flip into spray-spewing somersaults; others slammed sickeningly into the treacherous shoals bordering the course. Bill Petty of Wapakoneta, Ohio, driving a deep-vee hull powered by triple Mercury engines, jumped into the lead, held it for 1½ hours, then shrieked into a turn at 70 m.p.h., cut the corner too close and grazed the bottom. The mistake cost him two propellers and part of one engine. Incredibly, Mercury...
...Critic Gelles insists upon high musical standards. Four weeks ago in the Globe, Steinberg chided Carlo Maria Giulini, guest conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. If Danny Kaye or Victor Borge had conducted "with such crazed dislocation of tempo and with such prodigality in expression of tragic suffering and deep knee-bends," wrote Steinberg, "the audience would have been in stitches." Two weeks ago in the Herald Traveler, Gelles remarked that Guest Conductor Seiji Ozawa "has shrunk from a lightweight with charm and real elegance to a conductor whose performances are technically inaccurate and emotionally indifferent...
