ROBERT BEAUCHAMP-Green, 15 West 57th. Crimson-stained harpies perform jungle witchery and nature attends the gleeful, macabre rites. The artist is the real sorcerer: his brash and bleeding colors, laid on with the free brushstroke of the German expressionists, are bewitching. Besides the oils, some drawings in pencil and crayon.

...happens in man, Dr. Scholander told the American Philosophical Society last month, is much the same as what happens in the seal, though less pronounced. The human volunteer who holds his breath while his mouth is under water reacts in much the same way as a seal trained to perform a symbolic dive by keeping its snout submerged in a tub.

But Dublin's famed Abbey Theatre is due to perform two of his works-Juno and the Paycock and The Plough and the Stars-next year in London at a drama festival of companies from all over Europe. Naturally they want to do the plays justice, and they have asked permission to produce them in Dublin for a two or three weeks' trial...
