Under the Big Top. Circus Master John Ringling never could resist a painting big enough to display under a big top, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla., has contributed a swashbuckling, 7½-ft Veronese. Dime Store King Samuel Kress left one collection of Italian paintings to the National Gallery-and a second to 18 different museums around the U.S., three of whom sent contributions to the CRIA exhibit. While most works acquired by collectors have by now come to rest in museums, some at the Wildenstein still reside in private homes. A charming...
...Negroes in the Black Belt of Alabama and Mississippi (during the Meredith March from Memphis to Jackson last summer, the Courier distributed free copies along the route, received letters asking for reporters and subscriptions, and happily supplied both). Few people want their copies mailed; they prefer to pay a dime each time the six-page full-sized paper is delivered to their doorstep. The Courier buses papers out to dozens of local distributors--housewives, civil rights leaders, retired steelworkers--who mail back the paper's share of the money collected, as well as news tips and items for a short...
Anthony Mainionis' Haemon is adequate but somewhat colorless. Marian Hailey manages sufficiently to convey the weak-willed and vacillating Ismene--"infirm of purpose," to use Lady Macbeth's taunt. Antigones are rare, but Ismenes are a dime a dozen. Jane Farnol brings a good deal of warmth to the role of Antigone's devoted and solicitous old nurse. Richard Castellano, Edward Rutney, and Garry Mitchell, dressed in blue uniforms with red stripes, are fine as the three guards, who represent the majority of society; they are part of Creon's "featherheaded rabble." They are hard-drinking, vulgar-tongued, card-playing...
...produce a 72-hour trip-up to six times the length of an LSD voyage-and generates the "blinding white light" of hallucinatory omniscience that many hippies claim is the be-all and end-all of the drug experience. Believed to be a chemical called 5-methoxy-NN-dime-thyltryptamine, STP cannot be treated, as LSD is, by use of chlorpromazine tranquilizers to ease a bad trip: it only accentuates the symptoms...
...National Repertory Theater has been touring the U.S. for five years. Rarely has theatrical mediocrity been spread so widely for so long. The company has also pocketed some $105,000 in National Arts Council grants, not a dime of which can be traced in the amateur-night stagecraft of its cast and directors. Last week the N.R.T. appeared on Broadway with dramatic choices that were varied in content yet reflected the standard repertory mentality: combine one old classic (Molière's The Imaginary Invalid) with one serious American play (O'Neill's A Touch...
