...Greek vase from the fifth century B.C., and a fine panel from an Egyptian tomb will be shown together with original works by EI Greco, Pieasso, O'Keefe, and Branciesi, the implication being that there is an underlying formal principle which runs through all abstract works...
...Other paintings of importance in the bequest, not shown here, are the "Portrait of a Lady," attributed to Peter Paul Rubens, and a small canvas of EI Grceo's, "Christ Driving the Money-Changers From the Temples," a favorite subject, of which there are at least nine versions, by the painter or his immediate followers, three others being now in America. There is also a large Flemish tapestry, dating from about...

Balieff, "Chastoushki", and "The Chorus of the Brothers Zaitzeff", are the most hilarious of the musical numbers, while "A Night at Yard's", and "Ei Ukhnem" are unforgettably dramatic in their relation of Siavic feeling and character.
