DIED. Harriet Stratemeyer Adams, 89, children's book author of many of the gee-whiz adventures in series like Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Tom Swift and the Bobbsey Twins; in Pottersville, N.J. Writing under such names as Carolyn Keene, Franklin W Dixon, Victor W. Appleton and Laura Lee Hope, Adams spun out more than 200 tales during a 52-year career. Adams was one of several writers who worked for the juvenile series' controlling corporation, the Stratemeyer Syndicate, founded by her father Edward more than 70 years...
...images that spoke of frustration, tension and ritualized memory, he had no equal. No wonder the surrealists adored his early work and adopted its strategies wholesale. The "illusionist" painters among them, Dali, Ernst, Tanguy and Magritte, all came out of early De Chirico, a lineage astutely discussed by Laura Rosenstock in the catalogue; and as another contributor, Wieland Schmied, points out, German painters in the '20s like George Grosz used Chirican motifs to express their vision of an estranged urban world in social dislocation...

Victor Cavallo as Adelfo, the worker-priest who feeds the pigs, also suffers from the flat script, which forces him to stay calm and distanced, his religious acceptance erecting a rigid, unbroken stoicism to block him from the audience. With such...
...Queen of the Dryads in the Act II dream sequence, Laura Young (who alternates the role with Mouis) has a lovely, lyrical style and a great deal of fluid grace. Stephanie Moy, as the dream sprite Amour, delivers a quick, pert performance characterized by rapid-fire precision. The two male principals, Matador Augustus Van-Heerden and Gypsy Boy Tony Catanzero, both exhibit crystalline definition and punctilious accuracy. As Don Quixote, Donn Edwards is appropriately clumsy, bumblingly gallant, dedicated to the service of his imagined Dulcinea...
