...music of Claude Debussy is the key to the "cross-fertilization of musical and poetic values that formed a fusion of the arts," a British musicologist maintained yesterday in the first Louis C. Elton lecture. Critic, scholar and composer, Edward Lockspeiser spoke on "Debussy, Poe and Freud: a New Approach to the Music of Cur Time...
...horror, when anguish nullifies distance, and too soon for historical tragedy, when art provides it. But form and perspective apart, The Wall is simply not well enough written. Adapter Millard Lampell gets no leverage into language; his words do not heighten or deepen or darken, are never laconic or poetic or terrible.

It suffers from a Special Guest Star, Bert Lahr, who is billed above the title, and in larger type. The Stratford company has often before hurt itself with guests, the most notable case being the deplorable Miss Hepburn, apparently because they believe that good Shakespeare, well-acted, cannot attract audiences in this country without...
