...beautiful and not unconvincing Zenocrate. She brought off her two major dramatic transitions with competence, if not eclat, and served as a restrained and lyrical foil to the military clangor of the others. Edmund Hennessy, on the other hand, did away with every sort of restraint in his nervous, grimacing portrayal of Mycetes, the effete King of Perisa. Hennessy was terribly funny, but his evident talent as a mime deserves more direction that it got. Now and then a gesture would jibe with a line. However, for the most part, he wasted a lot of inspired movements that distracted attention...
...East Berlin. A "large number," as one official warily puts it, have hurdled the Wall "by the most adventurous ways conceivable." What they find is a profound change since August. "Everybody has become much more serious," says one teacher. "The students seem to be braver, or perhaps just less nervous. The Wall has unified...
...picture, faithful generally to the play, tells the story of a small-town prude (Geraldine Page), a Mississippi parson's daughter who as she approaches her 30th year, finds herself unmarried; still pretty in a dim way but getting a bit odd and starchy; prone to nervous flutters of the heart; apt to sleep ill of nights; liable to warble La Golondrina at charity bazaars; beginning to resent her slavery to a kleptomaniac mother (Una Merkel) who is glad to be mad; beginning to be desperate...

On the other hand, a splendid Princess Sibylle of Cleves, by Lucas Cranach the Elder, was bought by Thomas Agnew & Sons of London for $105,000, about twice...
Saved a Billion. Dr. Kline was careful to insist that he does not say that drugs such as reserpine and chlorpromazine should be or can be the only treatment for mental ills or nervous disorders. But the opposition, he asserted, says that it has the only true gospel in psychotherapy, or talking-it-out methods. He quoted Dr. H. Angus Bowes: "To doubt the value of psychotherapy is regarded by many as slightly blasphemous, as though questioning the efficacy of prayer. But the physician who uses psychotherapy without medicine is as unhappy as his patients...
