Conductor's Compliment. Foss's experiment in time is so challenging that at its premiere, almost two years ago, Conductor Leonard Bernstein insisted on playing the piece a second time for a discriminating 400 that lingered at concert's end to try to find out exactly what they had heard. (Said Lenny to the 400: "I compliment you.") Since then, many a conductor has deemed Time Cycle worthy of one, if not two, hearings, and it has become a frequently performed modernist work. Last week at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ont., it was played with Foss...
...apex of the realistic tradition in American musical comedy, Pal Joey stands as their fullest realization of their art. Besides the usual virtues of closely integrated book lyrics, and score, Pal Joey offers a singularly compelling study of an individual situation, the depths of which was not approached until Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. Although the title of John O'Hara's book leads us to focus our attention on Joey, the significance of the work lies in the eventual illumination that the captivating but amoral and egocentric hero brings to those around him.

...program, a bouillabaisse of Copland, Gershwin, Kern, Victor Herbert, Leonard Bernstein and Giuseppe Verdi, was an unqualified success. When the orchestra broke bouncily into the score of West Side Story, even the guests of honor, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, could not help tapping their feet. Despite the hazards of the location and the hackneyed nature of the music, the long concert was one more demonstration that under 40-year-old Conductor Frémaux the once-moribund Monte Carlo Orchestra is fast becoming one of Europe's most gifted ensembles...
...mistakes of long ago. Some of the people whom I know may not be entirely antiseptic. But most are banking, labor, civic, industrial, philanthropic leaders and members of the press." The grand opening last week was graced by Bobby Darin and George Kirby-with such headliners as Jack Leonard, Vic Damone, Keely Smith, the Kingston Trio, Joe E. Lewis and Ella Fitzgerald booked for future stands. Rooms run from $12 to $45 a night, and all guests are automatically insured for $5,000 while registered and for eight hours after checkout. "It will be great for the three-hour layover...
