...Museum of Fine Arts has just opened up a very pleasant exhibit of works by A.C. Goodwin (1866-1929), a minor American artist who spent a lot of his time making pictures of Boston. The display assembles nearly 70 paintings and pastels, predominately of Bean Town streets, wharves, gardens and countryside, done around the turn of the century. An exhibit like this probably goes up more for its civic and historical interest than for its artistic merits, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Tickets on Fridays and Saturdays cost $5-$6.50. No wonder...

The proper way to take on a deanship here is through being wooed a bit by friends and taking the post with a sense of honor...
...Tempest, part of a repertory offering that will alternate all summer with Oscar Wilde's Salome, is still in previews at the Public Theater on Soldiers Field Road in Allston. Remember the Public is an outdoor theater, so this could be a very pleasant way to spend a hot summer's night...
