...play, the change is rather a shock. But she has some wonderful moments and is one of the few actors on the stage who never sacrifics the meaning of her lines to their poetry. Joel Crothers as Romeo has but two strings to his harp: he either smiles the ingenuous smile of a toothpaste advertisement or pouts like a child denied his lollypop.

Last night's concert of New Music was the work of five young European composers whose music, not unexpectedly, conforms to neither of the two extremes.

But when the great day finally arrives this week, it could be safely predicted that all Britain will be vibrating like a harp and ready to enjoy the thoroughly loverly fairy tale of the handsome young commoner who marries the beautiful princess...
