...eerie operatic raunchiness. Kay Tolbert's Mary Magdalene is a good-natured whore; her number, "You Can't Get a Man with a Prayer" ("God is just an abstraction/I need a little action "), places her metaphysically about midway between Wittgenstein and Melina Mercouri. And Kathy Allyn's Elizabeth, a pregnant nonagenarian, is firmly and humorously controlled...
...ever wondered what beauty there is in the kitchen cat or in a pregnant woman in the bathtub, then you've probably never tried to compose an aesthetic for photography. In the current exhibition at M.I.T., Minor White, professor and director of the Creative Photography Laboratory, has selected works that conceptualize "be-ingness" as the ideal form of camerawork...
...EXHIBIT are examples of the artist-photographer who pictures the "nude" as an ideal form of art: Barbara Morgan's photo "Pregnant" (a pregnant woman's torso), if it had been placed next to a reproduction of Van Eyck's Eve from the Ghent Altarpiece, certainly would emphasize the classic form.

The "high" humor of the Devil as Angel finds expression in a scene in which an Old Man and an Old Woman solicit his aid in bringing their daughter back to life. The sarcastic expose of superstition is vitiated by a focus on the campy quaintness of the old couple and the vulgarity of their revivified daughter (Alaina Warren). The mixing of styles proves particularly annoying in Felder's early appearances as the Devil...
