...Bartlesville scheme will be watched closely from Washington, Manhattan and Hollywood. Says Shapp: "This will make it possible for exhibitors to reach an audience they have never before reached. By electronic means, the walls of the conventional theater are pushed outward to surround the entire city and make it a giant theater." If it works as well as surveys suggest it will, the company expects it to spread across the country and to cover special sport events, opera and live plays as well as movies...
...place and time . . . that seem now as dead as any other journalism." And she believes that poems written according to formal rules are "but an imitation of poetry." What, then, is left? A compact, pocket-sized jewel case of highly personal and rare poetic experiences that have less outward shine than inner glow. Poet Raine's father was a spare-time nonconformist preacher in suburban London, but there is no doubt that a Buddhist would understand better than a Christian the implications of The Sphere...
...Selye sees it, every influence that bears on man requires him to adapt himself to his circumstances, including both outward events and internal emotions. As a technical framework for the disorders resulting from excess stress (or from faulty adaptation to normal stress), he has constructed the general adaptation syndrome, or G.A.S. Under this theory, the immediate response of the human or any other animal to a challenging stimulus is the alarm reaction-the mobilization for fight or flight marked by drops in body temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar. This first or shock phase may last from a few minutes...
...only succeed as something trashy or something tremendous. To tell the story in the theater, on James's own terms, is to face technical dilemmas and risk artistic betrayals as great as the ethical dilemmas and moral betrayals involving the characters. James's canvas, his outward world of London and Venice, is large, populous, resplendent. James's characters, his inner world of sensibilities, perceptions, perturbations, are studied in depth and projected at full length. And James's method is-triumphantly if sometimes tediously-one of peculiar indirection...
...Clark '28. The piece gave some members of the orchestra, particularly a few among the woodwinds and brasses, a chance to display their individual talents. On one hearing the work itself seemed fairly coherent, although dependent for its principal effect upon the manipulation of peculiar timbres. But beneath this outward, coloristic impression gained at the first hearing may lie a sturdier core. At any rate, the orchestra is to be commended for playing this little-heard music, and it should continue the policy by including other works of moderate difficulty in its future programs...
