...from 3 in. to more than 8 ft.-are on show this week in Manhattan's Pierre Matisse Gallery. Among them are some surprisingly delightful forms, e.g., a small dancing figure whose facial features show up on the sole of its upraised foot, a 6-ft. 3-in. Palm Tree topped with a suitable bird with Miró hieroglyphics scrawled on the richly glazed bark, some bug-eyed figurines that look as if they had just swallowed the pits with the cherries.

Located some 14 miles north of West Palm Beach, Salhaven was named after U.I.U. President Sal B.

Even Moses, a part in which Charlton Heston is ludicrously miscast, looks less like a man who staggers into the desert to find God than one who flies to Palm Springs to freshen up his tan. According to the script, that was the kind of fellow Moses really was, at least as a young man.
