...make; but these he can answer, if only to himself. As always it is more baffling to cope with the indifference, for it assumes a prior judgment; it rests on an implied assumption that Catholicism is by nature phony; that Catholicism is patronizing, and assumes the air of a father who won't tell the child there is no Santa Claus.

Ellis Rabb provided an unbeatably riotous Smee, an elaboration of the Starveling he did in Midsummer Night's Dream at Stratford a year ago. The production employed the original music of John Crooke, which Barrie himself had termed "delightful." And special equipment was set up to allow...
