...some very fine tableaus, especially in the last three dances. But they shatter these moments of beauty as soon as they regroup the performers. Changes 1 probably illustrates best what is wrong with the choreography. To a quite unmemorable sound collage by David Maxwell, the dancers as a tightly interwoven group walk diagonally across the stage while a film projects closeups of the maze of heads and necks onto the screen behind (mixing media is apparently an irrestible temptation these days). The patterns are admittedly beautiful, but with the static beauty of a painting. The result is a series...
...Daniel Poling. The son of an Evangelical minister, he was born in Portland, Ore., accepted his first call as a preacher at a United Evangelical church in Canton, Ohio, in 1905. From then on, his life as a minister of the Gospel and a servant of man were inextricably interwoven. During the '20s, he was probably the nation's most popular radio preacher, and for eight years he was pastor of Manhattan's prestigious Marble Collegiate Church-a post now held by his friend and disciple, Norman Vincent Peale. Poling also served for a time as head...
...this story through a narrator, Yuri's Bolshevik brother (Alec Guinness). The device seems awkward at times, but the flashbacks spring vividly to life on their own. The couple's first wordless encounter takes place aboard a tramcar in Moscow, and the headlong rush of their interwoven destinies is a subtle, unifying symbol of Zhivago. Trains wail along outside the house where Lara and her mother's self-seeking lover (Rod Steiger) generate the first sparks of scandal. After the revolution, a train carries Yuri, his wife Tonya (Geraldine Chaplin) and his family away to the relative...
...Then it plunges abruptly into page after crowded page of rabbinical answers, further questions, disputations. The comments themselves are of two kinds: halakah, or interpretation of the law, and aggadah, meaning sayings, parables, narratives or proverbs with a moral significance. The two kinds of commentary are hopelessly, sometimes humorously, interwoven. Argument is seldom pursued to a logical conclusion. In the midst of a passage on why divorce is necessary to preserve peace in society, for example, the sages will suddenly and bewilderingly leapfrog into a brief discussion of robbery and the right of the heathen poor to share...
...opposed tableaux - riot ing and registering - were interwoven. Denied for nearly a century the en franchisement that was vouchsafed them by the 15th Amendment, deprived as well of all the benefits that flow from political power, the Deep South's Ne groes have for decades sought a better life elsewhere: in the slums of Harlem, Detroit, Chicago, Washington, D.C. -and Los Angeles. Now there was at least a hope of change and perhaps a reason to stay. With Dispatch. Grasping at that hope, thousands of Negroes were flocking to register in the nine counties in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi...
