Whatmough was a Lancashire man, educated at the Universities of Manchester and Cambridge before he began teaching Classics at the University College of North Wales. When President Lowell was looking for someone to fill a chair of Comparative Philology at Harvard, Whatmough was on leave from his post, visiting Egyptian University in Cairo. There he was trying to teach Latin in French (by government decree, instruction had to be in French) to Egyptians who spoke Arabic and English. He accepted Lowell's offer without delay...
...paradoxical reason for the strike orgy is the thriving Australian economy, which produces more than 2,000 new jobs a month but not the 2,000 workers to fill them. The result, says Sydney's Sunday Telegraph, "is the feeling among certain trade unions that full employment provides the excuse for tactics of disruption." In February, 40 boilermakers struck one company because they could not get fish and chips for their Friday lunch, and last month 300 iron workers walked off a job at the Sydney engineering works of Tulloch, Ltd. because management would not unlock a door...
Ingeniously improvising, the prisoners of La Santé rig up dummies with movable limbs to fill their places at lights-out. One man stands watch at the cell door with a periscope fashioned from a toothbrush and a shard of mirror. A piece of a metal bunk serves as a digging tool. Two stolen medicine bottles filled with sand make an hourglass to time the long, seemingly hopeless task of chipping through concrete sewer walls and treacherous rock. On the afternoon of the last day before the escape, Gaspard is suddenly called to the warden's office. Two hours...
Miss Schechtman had to fill in for the ailing ingenue on 2 day's notice, and her performance is quite good, if a bit weak in song. Anthony Thompson, on the other hand, sings magnificently in the role of Rackstraw, but acted somewhat woodenly. Consequently, the first act duet, and the "Dungeon Cell" song, lacked the verve of the rest of the show. Here Sullivan can be blamed. The parts of Josephine and Rackstraw get the worst musical treatment in the score, and even then D'Oyle Carte players have trouble with them...
...keep Son Horst from nipping off. She offers him an Austin-Healey, a luxuriantly upholstered housemaid ("or find a nice married woman in your own world"), and cold cash. Horst uses the money to set himself up as a bohemian artist in Rome, but he can't fill his life or his canvas because "there is nothing worth painting." Ultimately, he finds redemption through fleshly enslavement to Catherine, an amoral part-time model and fulltime hetaera who makes him feel love, jealousy and suicidal impulses. This, of course, means that he is alive again...
