...series. In the central room, divided by partitions, the smaller, more casual works have been mounted in groups, much as they would have appeared on the wall of a late nineteenth century room. Flowers on console tables bring out the color of those monotypes which have been reworked with pastel. A few chairs help to enhance this pleasant evocation of an interior...
...Harvard terms, the greatest virtue of the production which opened at Lowell last night was its lack of pretension. Simplicity reigned throughout: one-piece, monochromatic costumes; a symmetrically arranged set composed of unbroken, speckled, pastel rectangles; small musical forces; restrained staging. The result unfortunately, was a complete contradiction of the medium. Spectacle was non-existent, and in spite of many moments of real humor, the production was about as uplifting as a grade-school Flag Day presentation.

When it first opened, New York newspapers sniped at its imperfections: a few (approximately 1,500 out of 20,500) seats with bad sight lines for hockey and track, water leaking from the ceiling, a nonfunctioning electric Scoreboard and clock. Even so, its problems were nothing compared with those at the new Philadelphia Spectrum, where the roof blew off, or the Inglewood Forum, which boasts southern California's most awesome traffic jam in its parking lot. By fight night, most of the Garden's problems...
