When in 1862 Sisley joined the class of the renowned Parisian teacher Charles-Gabriel Gleyre, two fellow students happened to be Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet. Monet disdained Gleyre, who once berated him for painting a model with all its deformities. "Nature, my friend, is all right as an element of study," said Gleyre, "but it offers no interest. Style, you see, is everything." By 1864, Renoir, Monet, Sisley and their fellow student Jean Bazille had settled down near Fontainebleau to paint nature as they...
Among the holdovers from the past season, Mary, Mary incites full houses to laugh along with Playwright Jean Kerr. In Camelot, a new King Arthur (William Squire) presides over the Round Table. Irma La Douce is still the most delectable way to tour the Parisian underworld.

Girodias, an amiable, vague, unbusinesslike man, plays the role of a monster of depravity with vigor but no consistency, registering at different times belligerence, shy embarrassment, prosperous self-satisfaction, artiness, guilt, and a well-practiced sinister leer. Last week it was artiness; he would like nothing better than to be put out of business, he said-in fact Olympia's sole aim has been to batter down the bastions of censorship and make...
