Then the man in the trench coat and horn-rimmed glasses, with a prize-fighter's nose, came through the crowd and shook his hand. "You were terrific out there," he said. "I'm very pleased with you, Billy." Bill Cleary, who set an NCAA scoring record last year with 89 points, wearing now an Olympic jersey instead of a Crimson one, replied simply: "Thank you, Mr. Weiland...
...operatic assignment, in the name part of Cherubini's Medea, done in concert form in Manhattan's Town Hall. The role is one of opera's most difficult, but it held no terrors for Soprano Farrell. During rehearsal her attitude was playful. She kidded the French horn player for a minute burble, grinned delightedly at the violins when they produced a soaring harmony.

Their nonchalance and dastard evil, dispelled at the end when they too become human, are lustily executed. J.D. Shucter as Gepetto the puppetmaker, peers with great authority through horn rims, though his early slapstick might appear a trifle strained. Marc Brugnoni's Sandwich Man is marvelously rakish and sly, but no one ever gets really scared, for his unctuousness naturally makes him more humorous than frightening. Blue Fairy's role is difficult in the presence of such raucous other characters...
