...Feste of Alvin Epstein is outstanding. But even his performance is overshadowed by those of the two sidekicks Berghof invented for him. The Dancing Zany in entrusted to Geoffrey Holder, a 28-year-old six-and-a-half-foot mine of talent: dancer, choreographer, singer, actor, painter, composer, writer, photographer, book illustrator, and folklorist. This show draws on only the first three of his many gifts.

Last month, when Sam Newhouse went looking for the proper gift for their 35th wedding anniversary, he had a good basis to go on-Mitzie, a delicate wisp of a woman (5 ft., 76 Ibs.) who likes to wear originals by Dior and Givenchy, still has a high interest in high fashion. Last week Sam came home with just the right present...
...sophomores elected John T. Daley '61, of Dudley House and West Roxbury; Paul H. Epstein '61, of Eliot House and Brooklyn, New York; and William M. Kargman '61 of Leverett House and Belmont...
