Lieut.-Governor Ole Olson, in shirtsleeves held up by blue garters, sat in the Governor's chair, issued proclamations, ruled the State. But to thousands and thousands of sunburned, wind-bitten North Dakota farmers, William Langer was still their rightful Governor...

An amateur production which can boast among its designers Virgil Thomson, collaborator with Gertrude Stein in that lady's only opera, and Joe Losey, director of "Lil' Ole Boy," is rare indeed. But the consideration of these facts must make the critical judgment of the effort more searching than would otherwise be the case. In respect to theme, "A Bride for the Unicorn" cannot be considered as more than a competent synthesis of a group of philosophical and aesthetic conceptions which have...
