...kinds of good things must be said for the present production. It is a delight, especially in the pocket-sized theatre of the Hotel Bostonian, decked out in appropriate Gallic style. With Offenbach in the background and designer Robert Wells' curtain a la Toulouse-Lautrec, it out-Montmartres Montmartre, all very pleasantly. The excellent staging of director Alan J. Levitt--who, by the way, is obviously well acquainted with the French touch--overcomes the problem of space, which could be acute if any of his fine company were claustrophobic. And it is a fine company. Robin Ramsay, as La Brige...
...type so common during the period, meant to titillate the lubricious instincts of the week-end visitor to Paris from the other side of the Channel or Rhine.

But about Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire," which took up the rest of the evening, it is difficult to be so enthusiastic...
...Passion, My Delight." However gratifying Sam's laissez-faire attitude may be to his editors and publishers, outsiders either find it confusing or don't believe that it exists. The conventional picture of a chain publisher is of a man who uses his papers like a megaphone to extend the range of his own voice. Because Newhouse does not take a public stand on the issues of the day, because he does not force his personal convictions into his papers, because he has no interest more consuming than the solvency of his properties?and because he automatically becomes an "outsider...
