...piano, Jobriath's voice is strong--Jagger-like in its harshness. "Wherever you are, ahoooooooooooooo." The guitarists, rocking along in giant ski-boot clogs, fill in the "yeh, yeh, yeh's." Jobriath gestures. The movements are familiar: mouth in a circle, eyes wide, the elbows cocked, the wrists limpid, the fingers splayed. The music rises in scintillating shimmers. Jobriath leaps backstage, and returns as a "Space Clown." Pink ruffled mask coyly over his eyes, pink satin G-string in place, Jobriath mimes juggling. He pirouettes gracefully. "You're a space clown. When you cry, you bring the sky down...
CATCH MY SOUL introduces Othello to John the Baptist, and they do not get along. A muddle of Shakespeare and Scripture, the movie is frenziedly directed by Patrick McGoohan, and set to an overabundance of limpid rock music.

Contentment can sometimes amount to middle-class complacency. Once, in its years in the cultural wilderness, Sauk Centre, Minn., was Sinclair Lewis' Main Street, his symbol for a kind of porcine American self-satisfaction: "The contentment of the quiet dead . . . dullness made...
...sweetness of life," and Renoir's spiritual home was built before 1789. Almost from the start of his career, Renoir's technique and sense of construction were superb: witness the sober, Venetian expansiveness of his great tribute to Corot, Pont-des-Arts, circa 1868. Or the vigorous, limpid Still Life with Bouquet, 1871 , whose tones of gold, amber and black sum up his affinities with Impressionism - light caress ing every surface, revealing each nu ance of substance from the crackly parchment of the Japanese fan to the humid softness of the bouquet...
