...budget and talent pool that is relatively unlimited, The Seagull seems too demanding in its delicate excellence, and being several cuts below perfect each production failed. In this case, since one can expect little more than a game try at perfection, the audience is left with a warm glow at the thought that a Harvard group has done so well...
...main fuel for glow is a trio of principal players: Elinor Fuchs as a warm, vain and fading actress, Wendy Mackenzie as an ingenuous country girl who becomes more or less great in betrayal, and Andre Gregory, playing an author whose weakness and fine sensibilities combine to ruin lives. These three set a hard mark for the rest with thoughtful portrayals designed intelligently to develop and exploit the respective characters.

...plays is also partly one of production. Where Picnic so stressed theatrical values as to ossify human ones, Bus Stop, under Harold Clurman's understanding direction, seamlessly blends the two. Despite deeper entanglements, Picnic was all surfaced glare; Bus Stop, for all its outward humors, catches an inner glow...
...asks Gold. As billions follow billions of years, the most distant galaxies slip over the edge of the universe as their light becomes too feeble to be observed. Faint nearby galaxies grow brighter as they collect more matter. As the space between them expands, new galaxies are born to glow faintly in the new space...
...even more radical flat tube under development by General Electric Co. gets rid of the vacuum, and it has no electron beam either. It consists of a sheet of "electroluminescent" phosphor that glows when it is excited by an electrical voltage. The phosphor is sandwiched between a matrix of horizontal and vertical wires. If there are 500 running in each direction there will be 250,000 points at which wires cross. These intersections can be made to glow by impressing the proper voltage on the wires. If the voltages are changed rapidly, the spot of light scans the screen, forming...
