...little investors into their operations. In France, the Rothschild Bank chose its 150th anniversary to announce that Messieurs de Rothschild Freres, as the bank is formally known, is expanding from investment banking into a commercial bank serving smaller depositors. And in Belgium, the huge chemical company of Solvay et Cie. held a meeting at which 1,800 family "partners" discussed increasing Solvay's capital by selling shares to the European public...

...Winthrop House, Burnering has been given an exciting, if not-so-well acted, production. Most House shows try to disguise what they are by converting dining rooms, junior common rooms et al. into ordinary theatres or close approximations thereof. Kay Bourne, the director of Burnering, uses a wood-panelled junior common wall for a backdrop, windows for entrances and exits, and a simple platform stage. Through imaginative, deliberate use of lighting, Miss Picker's hour long play is staged without interruption and with only...

Sexy Grace. "Emeralds," set to Gabriel Faure's stage music for Pelleas et Melisande and Shylock, unfolded a set of suave, subtly intertwining dances that managed to be at once sweeping and intimately sensuous. Dancers Mimi Paul and Francisco Moncion captured the combination of sophistication and passion in a pas de deux that was full of tantalizing hesitations but never without easy flow. In "Diamonds," Balanchine turned to the grand manner of classical ballet, spinning out variations that resembled traditional Russian dancing removed from the law of gravity. To the score of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 3, Suzanne...

Such mixtures seem quite natural to Messiaen, who describes himself as "a born believer, musician and revolutionary." He taught himself to play the piano at eight, at ten was devouring the scores of Don Giovanni, Die Walkure and Pelleas et Melisande. He conceived a lifelong fascination with "all things mysterious and marvelous," and found that musical sounds gave him inner visions of colors; once, he got a stomach ache while watching a ballet because the violet hue of the lighting clashed so badly with the tonality of G major...
