...removed to the first floor of a shabby yellow frame house on Mt. Auburn Street, Schuster has begun to rebuild his collection. In addition to the ceramics, he has assembled assorted graphic works, by far the most attractive of which are a group of Matisse lithographs, Florilege des Amours de Ronsard. Their graceful lines and warm color provide a welcome contrast to the drab rooms; even more striking is the difference between them and the highly stylized, gimmicky woodcuts and engravings that grace the remaining wall space...
...dressed in the velvet tunic and tights that display his most famous asset: the legs that have earned him the Milan nickname of "Golden Calves" ("I just love Franco," says Leontyne Price. "He has such gorgeous legs"). Moreover, the golden calves support a 6 ft. 2 in., 180-lb. frame and a classically handsome head that qualify Corelli as the best-looking hunk of tenor now singing.* In his Met debut he demonstrated that he also has a voice.

Last week their calm paid off. On the first day, they were each convoyed by one university official and two detectives, on the second by one detective trailing 30 feet behind, and on the third day they walked alone. By week's end, they were almost ignored...
...Merry Widow to Oklahoma! and My Fair Lady. As Critic Walter Kerr points out: "Adaptations, so long as they are good, still qualify as creative." And other defenders invariably argue that, after all, Shakespeare and Moliere were adapters too. The difference is that the masters took the bare frame of a plot and filled it with their own world; most modern adapters totally accept the world of a book, squeeze it dry of life, and add only one contribution of their own: stage technique...
