...Director Tito Capobianco placed the Prologue not in Heaven but in space. The Epilogue suggests Earth as a dying planet illuminated by the corpse of a setting sun. The production was strongly cast in other major roles. Carol Neblett, a vocally arresting but inexperienced soprano, did both Margherita and Helen of Troy. As Faust, Tenor Robert Nagy sang powerfully but with obvious effort. Julius Rudel's conducting rose successfully to the peaks but tended to coast through the occasional deserts of Boito's score...
...suppose I'll have to stop swearing now," said the lady last month, after President Nixon nominated her as chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission. But old habits die hard, especially for a veteran newspaper hand like Mrs. Helen Delich Bentley, 45, for 16 years maritime editor of the Baltimore Sun. So there she was last week, still at work pending Senate confirmation, dictating a story over ship-to-shore radio from the mammoth ice-breaking tanker S.S. Manhattan on its voyage through the Northwest Passage to Alaska. It must have been a salty yarn, too, because a monitoring...
...announced her retirement two times in the last two years, and each time she has obviously meant it. But somehow it never lasted very long. This time the bait is a play written by her late husband, and a part she claims was modeled after her mother. How could Helen Hayes say no? So she will be back on Broadway Oct. 18, playing the "small but juicy" part of Mrs. Grant in the revival of the 1928 comedy The Front Page. Miss Hayes said that her husband, Charles MacArthur (who collaborated with Ben Hecht on the script), created Mrs. Grant...
...What was the village doing at such an hour?" Miss Arkin likes to ask herself periodically. Well, Country Editor J. C. Barrows could be playing chess as usual. Old Helen Trombley, the town hypochondriac, could be counting her twinges to old Vebber Stevens at the pig farm. Elizabeth Rust, who truly loves her husband, might be making love to Jimmy Clancy at the motel. Down by the quarry, Kenneth Borgstrom, a schoolboy, might be making love to Eunice Dewsnap, a nurse. And Tony DiLuzio, teen-age Lothario, might be making love to just about anybody just about anywhere...
...Helen Gayle Moore of Montebello, Calif., had custody of her three children, while her ex-husband contributed to their support. But Jack Moore not only gained custody by agreement with the mother in 1967; he later convinced a court that he was entitled to financial aid. Moore's paper-products company had just gone out of business. More over, although his older daughter had married, the younger one needed money for college. Shouldn't his exwife, who nets $380 a month from her department-store job, help support the two children remaining in his care? Indeed she should...
