Despite the scholarly bent of “Frame by Frame,” a few families were in attendance. Cambridge mother Alix Kepner had taken her nine year-old daughter Gemma to see the exhibition. “We’re big Pixar fans,” explained Kepner when asked about what had brought them to the Carpenter Center. Talking about her favorite film, “Going Up,” Gemma said, “I liked the script.” When her mother commented that the film in question did not feature...
...Spears and apple pie, there was the British Empire, and, believe it or not, the good 'ole U.S.A. was part of it.

On the other hand, Lillian Aylward, as Chamberlain's God-fearing wife, uses forth-right gestures and voice to create a strong characterization. As Oona, Cathleen's foster-mother, Gail Kepner shows perfectly adequate control of a dull part, but her attention, understandably, often wanders away from it. Liam Clancy, who looks like a feckless young Irish poet, plays one, but with mere wistful lyricism; his voice lacks distinction as much as his spirit lacks life. Finally, the two devils, despite...
