...Bonnard Harvey of Maryland and Astoria, L.I. crossed tone arms with a connoisseur whose specialty was chamber music. To upset the expert, he arrived one night bearing a gaily wrapped Scheherazade-one of the lushest of full-orchestra scores-"which he had bought at the corner drugstore for well under a dollar.

Susan Shentall, while reading hers without distinction, nevertheless has what is so rare and so right in a Juliet: a delicate haze of sensuality that clouds the clear child face with passion's promises. The scene in which Romeo and Juliet meet, in which she foots the galliard, and the two touch trembling hands in the dainty ballad of the masks...
