Because Joel Martin is surrounded by such fine performances, it seems unfair to praise him excessively. Yet his subtle, dashing Macheath deserves every superlative in my critical vocabulary. With just a twinkle of his eye he tells you what he's thinking, makes you an accomplice in his delight. He and Philip Heckscher, as Macheath's helpmate filch, perfectly time their comic gestures to suit their songs. And they both have rich, pleasing voices. Richard Backus, as Locket, is the male counterpart of Miss Levine, a slapstick scene stealer with a comically mobile face. Unfortunately awkward, for he seems unsure...
Some professors openly encourage ceptsmanship, stress the cept in their lectures, argue that students who retain the cepts acquire an understanding that goes beyond a rote knowledge of who said what. These teachers may also delight in the cept as a handy way of rating the quality of a student's essay in quantitative terms. They merely scan the essay, underline the cepts, assign a numerical value to each, and tot them up. Other teachers never admit they are even aware of cepts-but tacitly use them anyway in grading. Superlative ceptsmanship amounts to a canny duel between teacher...
...your justices know, the matter is still 'under advisement.' " So is just about everything else. "Nobody knows what to do with the pile of old complaints and warrants accumulated over 14 years, and nobody has the courage to throw them away."

Feast or famine, thick or thin (mostly thick) they have clung to each other, lending ironclad support here (with a corset), whaleboned comfort there (with a waist cincher), out-and-out camouflage (with a wire-braided bustle or a foam-rubber bust) as far as the eye could see. Trouble was, the eye could never see far enough to know for sure where the padding left off and the girl began. Now, at long last, it is all quite clear. Thanks...
...scenes and the delight of all producers. "Most designers are masters of a single color," notes Producer David Merrick. "So if the basic color of your show is red, you get so-and-so; if it's green, you get somebody else. You can get Smith for anything." He also proves himself happily at home in all genres and periods-from the romantic realism of his squalid bed-sitter in A Taste of Honey to the sculptural expressionism of his revolving turntable for Dylan. He is also uniquely fast (he splashed out 250 watercolor sketches for Hollywood...
