...opera stage. Beside her, Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of Mzensk would seem a rural innocent (TIME, Feb. 11). The adulterous Marie in Alban Berg's Wozzeck is a colorless nobody compared with Alban Berg's Lulu, a symbol of insatiability conceived in the tortured mind of Playwright Frank Wedekind (Erdgeist, Die Büchse der Pandora).

Martin's predilection for homicide has ranked him as Public Enemy No. 1. At the same time, the dramatist shows by inference how "Babyface" Martins are made by tracing the activities of a moppet named Tommy (Billy Halop) and his juvenile gang. There is nothing more seriously the matter with Tommy than that he has lice in his hair, which...
