...fault of the Poets' if none of the three plays is very effective. The directors (Mary Manning for Beckett's, William Driver for Campton's) have not much opportunity to he helpful, since no movement at all is really necessary. But their efforts at staging are intelligently modest, and it must be credited to them that the performances are almost uniformly good. DeFrench and Greely Curtis are convincingly miserable in All That Fall, and William Driver and Hope Christopoulos do right by Cockney accents in A Smell of Burning. Stanley Jay gives the best performance of the evening in Momento...
Surrender Is Better. As is customary before U.S. nuclear tests but rarely before U.S.S.R. nuclear tests, various mutations of the anti-nuclear movement were burgeoning worldwide. In West Germany the organization was the Fight Against Atomic Death. In Japan it was the Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs. In London the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament mustered up a 50-mile protest march to Britain's atomic-weapons research center at Aldermaston. The marchers' inspiration, dinned in mass meetings and magazine articles, was the view of Philosopher Bertrand Russell and Writer Philip Toynbee, son of the famed historian, that...

Arranged in such all-encompassing categories as "The Land and the Waters," "Light, Sky and Air" and "Cycles of Life and Season," they make a handsome array of abstract art that seems to add a modicum of rhyme and season to what had hitherto seemed merely decorative or chaotic...
...could not, however, be sustained throughout such a long work. Mr. Poto, in striving for rhythmic vitality, sacrificed the song-like quality which is the trademark of Schubert, and the grace which a more leisurely slow movement would have had. The brass section was not kept under control, with the result that in the coda of the first movement, for example, the returning theme was lost entirely...
