...stream. CAT is usually encountered near the constantly shifting west-to-east jet stream and near mountain ranges, where cold air frequently spills at great speed down the leeward slopes. Although the turbulence is obvious to any pilot caught in it, it cannot be seen by the human eye. Attempts to detect CAT with devices that bounce radar or laser beams against it have so far proved either impractical or inconclusive...
...Crete to slay the monstrous Minotaur. In the pavilion the labyrinth is evoked by a series of eerie corridors and chambers, including one auditorium where audiences peer down from galleries on a swimming pool-sized screen. At the same time, an oblong screen, 38 ft. high, confronts them at eye level. Sometimes Labyrinth uses the two screens to show off: a girl on the far screen throws a bit of bread away; it lands with a splash on the shimmering pond of the bottom screen. Most often it is employed to generate vertigo, as when a trapeze artist dangles above...
...most formidable new film maker. Its most ambitious efforts are two multiple-projector movies, cum-brously named Polyvision and Diapolye-cran.

Diapolyecran is a 32-ft. by 20-ft. mosaic composed of 112 huge cubes, each equipped with its own interior slide projector. Wittily presenting a pageant...

It holds considerable fascination as a highly personal worm's-eye view of Castro's domain...
Sherwood Collins has directed with an eye for striking light effects and sharp blackouts. He helps give the show backbone where it has none. And the players, all 14 of them, are uniformly good, projecting age convincingly and boasting authentic-sounding accents. Even the accents that wouldn't fool a Midlands mockingbird are consistent, and that is what counts. Best of all, this production somehow catches the gypsy superstition and ballady poetry of the play, and never lets the numberless moments of high passion numb the audience...
