...dreams the single-sculler sculled in, oars dipping in the gentle gray-watered Thames, was the dream of a New Age. Flowers out of the rubble! The rebuilding of Europe! The resurgence of major league baseball! A generation (at least!) of peace in which to enjoy the fruits of our national good fortune! Some of us certainly worried about larger concerns, notably the menace of atomic war--the worriers coming late to their worries for media puberty was more retarded then. To worry was to be grown up; presumably, if one had been too young for fighting the good fight...
...never more lyrically conveyed. The robe is an anthology of natural observation, with seven types of plants rendered in a marvelously clear, springy line, through gradations of color that result from the separate tinting, part by part, of each of the thousands of silk threads. Where the brown, gray and blue rectangles of the background meet, the threads are aligned slightly out of register, producing a shimmer of one color into another...
...most spectacular of these, when viewed personally and from below, can inspire wonderment and envy. Who could not feel underpaid when contemplating the $1.662 million that Harry J.

Bill (Christopher Lloyd) is very tough but no match for the Lady in Gray, otherwise known as "the Fly" (Grayson Hall). She masterminds a gang of bank-robbing thugs with monikers like "the Reverend" (John A. Coe), "the Professor" (Robert Weil) and "Mammy" (Benjamin Rayson). They are all kept in line by Dr. Nakamura (Tony Azito), a Fu Manchu look-alike who speaks only in sibilants. Enter a Salvation Army lassie, "Hallelujah...
...review in itself. The Dock Street Theater opened in 1736 and is said to be the oldest professional theater in the U.S. The present playhouse represents a 1937 restoration that resembles a religious meetinghouse fashioned with seasoned, dark-hued wood and seats that resemble church pews. For Simon Gray and Charleston's Spoleto Festival, the old house represents fresh beginnings and new horizons...
