...feel like the Laughing Cavalier," Margot said, and, Frans Hals notwithstanding, she looked something like him, too, as she happily showed off her Yves St. Laurent jet-black velvet pants suit to a gaggle of photographers and admirers at the opening of Artist Keith Lancey's watercolor exhibit at London's Mayfair Hotel. Her outfit all but stole the show from the paintings, which was O.K. with the artist because she'll wear those same duds again for her new film, Dame Margot the Dancer, produced by, of all people, Keith Lancey...
...together than the score does. Still, such songs as Loving You and The Day I Met Your Father maintain the tone of tenderness that gives the evening its underlying harmony. The dances are robust rather than stylish; after working 14-hour days and attending night school, those old immigrants exhibit an improbable excess of energy. But that, of course, is the sweet errantry of nostalgia that gives this gentle musical its appeal...
...Painting in France, 1900-1967," an exhibit of 150 paintings assembled by the French government at the behest of the U.S.'s International Exhibitions Foundation, is an ambitious attempt on the part of Culture Minister André Malraux to demonstrate that, as one of his minions puts it, France in the arts is still capable of "inventing the future."

Dali's minuscule (as small as 7 in. by 5½ in.) Krafft-Ebing fantasies glow like 15th century Van Eycks...
Nonetheless, as examples of early work by these abstract expressionists and the pop artists on display at the Modern suggest, more was assimilated from the surrealists and Dadaists than mere assemblage and drip. Common to all of the work in the exhibit is a poetry and passion, gaiety and humanism totally foreign to the dry logic of cubism and to the pure, impersonal geometric abstractions that developed directly out of it in Europe. The camera may well have deprived painting of its reason for being by surpassing it in the portrayal of objective reality. Dada and surrealism, however, made...
