FUNNY GIRL shines in the refracted light of the most brilliant new star to rise over Broadway in several seasons, Barbra Streisand. She colors every song and caps all her clowning with the indelible impact of a fiercely magnetic stage presence...
...Dutch windmills, rivers and forests. These drawings and oils, done between 1905 and 1908, show keen insights and rhythmic vitality in a self-assured style, but offer little indication of the plastic purist he was to become (through May 23).
