...Metropolitan Opera House is destined for the wrecker's ball in May-that is, if it lasts that long. Last week the visiting Bolshoi Ballet practically tore down the house all by itself. Most of the acclaim was lavished on the Bolshoi's wing-footed Prima Ballerina Maya Plisetskaya. On opening night she danced the dual role of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake, and on the next night performed in the U.S. première of Petipa's Don Quixote-altogether a feat that is roughly comparable to Sandy Koufax pitching both ends of a doubleheader...
Into Guatemala City's Aurora Airport last week flew Mexico's President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz. To the shattering accompaniment of a low-flying formation of Sabre jets, he proclaimed that Guatemala and Mexico, both home to the Maya Indians who pounded corn meal into tortillas, were "brothers in ancient culture, in blood, in language and in our way of life, even to the corn which is the sustenance of our people...
Born in the Siberian seaport of Vladivostok, but persistent in thinking of himself as a Mongolian gypsy born mysteriously on an island off Japan, he further complicates matters by playing Siamese kings, saturnine Russians, Maya chieftains and other outlandish types. To untangle things-some-the real Yul Brynner, 45, stood up and went to the U.S. embassy in Berne, Switzerland, where he formally renounced the U.S. citizenship he has held since he was naturalized in 1947. He retains Swiss citizenship now, with his wife Doris and daughter Victoria, who do not qualify to become U.S. citizens since they live abroad...
Georgi Griner plays Ghenry Ghiggins with a Kiev accent, and The Rain in Spain came out Carl Stole Clara's Corals. Even if something were lost in translation, Maya Prekrasnaya Ledy brought 2,700 first-nighters to their feet in Moscow's Operetta Theater. "A great success," trumpeted Tass. But not everybody could have danced all night. "The Soviets did not go through proper channels," groused CBS, which bought the foreign rights to My Fair Lady from Authors Alan Lerner, 46, and Frederick Loewe, 60, in 1960. The Russians, of course, paid no one a ruble. But Producer...
...that has $5,000,000 in excess funds that it can't place." Certainly, Guatemala is not without social and political problems. Of its 4,500,000 people, 3,900,000 still live in the country's corrugated outback. They are mostly broad-faced descendants of the Maya Indians, and every year more and more of them drift into Guatemala City, creating new urban pressures. The military draws fire for its heavy-handed security checks. In one clumsy swoop last week, 200 men and women were arrested for failure to carry identification papers. Yet Peralta has promised elections...
