...Jaguar (by N. Richard Nash) seethed with action, pulsed with meaning, and added up to nothing. Closing at week's end, it told a melodramatic movie yarn that-loaded down with symbolism -made a lumbering stagecoach. The yarn, laid in mountain country, concerned a crusading young schoolmaster's struggle against the local villain who tyrannized over people, gobbled up property, caged up animals. Crux of the struggle was a hunt for an unworldly youth fleeing with a $900 inheritance. As a western, Jaguar lacked life because even its gunplay suggested a morality play. As serious drama...
Next Monday the Cherns Pro Musica will present a program of traditional and contemporary music featuring two soloists from the New England Opera Theatre. Alfred Nash Patterson will conduct the concert scheduled to begin at 8:50 p.m. at the Church of the Advent Boston...
...only wit in the show lurks in the lyrics by Ogden Nash, and fortunately. Miss Davis recites rather than sings the best of them. The outrageous rhymester's lines are deft and often delightful, particularly when coupling words like respectable and "Toulouse Lantrectable." Nash's lyrics are set to pleasant music, though none of the tunes is likely to stick with you as far as the subway station. One which might is Roll Along Sadie, a lively number which suggests that Anita Loss might have been kinder to Sadie Thompson than Somerset Maugham...
...Nash, which helped pioneer the postwar American small car market with its Rambler, last week announced plans to bring out a still smaller sports car next spring. Like other U.S. carmakers, Nash knows it can hardly afford to tool up for the limited market such a car may have. So it made a deal with Britain's Austin Motor Co. Ltd. to build the car (still not named) in England. Birmingham's coach-makers Fisher & Ludlow Ltd. will supply the body, Austin the chassis and a 42 h.p. engine. Nash does not expect to sell...
...Nash is not the first U.S. automaker to see the advantage of such a deal. Eighteen months ago Ford started marketing its British-made Consul in the U.S. ($1,695 in New York). It has since sold 4,000. Last spring Ford started making a slightly bigger version, the Zephyr 6. But the British automakers still manage to dominate the American small car market. Since 1949 they have nearly doubled the sales of Hillmans, Austins and the low-slung MG. It now looks as if the market for small cars is finally getting big enough to make it really worth...
