...named Eveylne Crochet, made the Orchestra's contribution seem rather weak. Mile. Crochet's reading, a compendium of elegant phrasing, effortless roulades, and delicious, unforced tone (for which the piano is probably due some credit) was the performance of a knowing, sensitive professional. But the Orchestra is only a good civic ensemble, and hazy string entrances or out-of-tune winds naturally suffer in the face of such suavity. Nevertheless, Mr. Manusevitch is a fine musician, and his accompaniment was tasteful, and appropriately reserved...
Playwright Shaffer can write sharp dialogue that is also characterizing, can cunningly create atmosphere and tension.

...tulip. Founded in 1891 by studious Gerard Philips, 32, a professor at the Delft Polytechnic School, the company started out in an abandoned tannery making 30 light bulbs a day. Though Philips taught himself and then ten ex-farm hands how to make bulbs, he was no good at selling them. In 1895 the company was up for sale when younger brother Anton, 20, quit a promising banking career to take over sales, did so well that by 1897 the company began exporting. In 1898 Anton himself wired home from St. Petersburg the biggest order ever placed: 50,000 bulbs...
