...serious operagoers the treat next winter will be the revival of Der Rosenkavalier with Lotte Lehmann, probably the season's curtain-raiser. Seekers after the new and curious will have to travel to Cleveland or Philadelphia. In both cities Artur Rodzinski has contracted to conduct Lady Macbeth from Mtsensk, the Soviet success by Dmitri Shostakovich, in which the heroine is heckled into murder by her unhealthy bourgeois surroundings. Metropolitan box-holders who own the shabby old theatre below Times Square made additional news last week when they announced plans to mortgage the house for $600,000 in order...
...Macbeth Gallery in New York, which has been presenting solid conservative U. S. painting for 40 years, had a one-man show of water colors, oils and prints last week. There were portraits, landscapes of Maine, Canada, North & South Carolina, and an effective series of diamond point etchings of West Virginia mountaineers with their cabins, their sad-eared mules, their hound dogs.

The picture is a minor injustice to her as well as to Zasu Pitts, whose woeful eyes, Lady Macbeth hands and forlorn nervous meanings have made her celebrated as Hollywood's only sad comedienne...
Scene is the blasted heath of Phillpotts' beloved Dartmoor. Lady Macbeth is Avis Ullathorne, a strapping country wench with a shrewd mind, nerves of steel. Macbeth is Peter Bryden, a fine upstanding man to look at but with a fatal flaw in him called conscience. Duncan is his older brother, owner of North Wood Farm and affianced to Avis. When Scotland Yard's Detective Midwinter arrives on the scene the murder has been done, the corpse hidden, all clues covered. Midwinter rightly suspects Peter and Avis but can find no evidence. Instead he sets traps. Burly Peter might...
