...always interesting to see how the ghost scenes in Shakespeare are played. De Grazia has Fletcher Word, a black actor, play the Ghost from atop a platform. Word dressed entirely in black, moves with a mime's precision through Oriental poses, enshrouded always in a huge cape. The effect is very striking...
...WHEN they break into "Carol," an old Chuck Berry number, Jagger has to work out harder than he ever had to before.

At a recent ball in West Berlin, for example, he showed up wearing a hand-lettered sign on his lapel that read in English: "Kiss...
...FEAST OF FOOLS by Harvey Cox. 204 pages. Harvard University. $5.95. A secular theologian urges a return to the medieval facility for joy-as in the current return to dance, mime, jazz and rhythmic movement in worship...
