...camera. His role: smoking a cigar for an interminable hour and a half. "I have a certain unusual look," says Henry, and who would dispute him? Marisol carved his rumpled pants and big black shades (now replaced by granny glasses) in three dimensions. David Hockney portrayed him as a prim, vested, bearded presence on a purple sofa. George Segal cast him in the ghostly, ghastly plaster that is his specialty, a dilapidated figure who looks for all the world to be waiting for Godot...
...could do, though, about the exhibit opening last week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, which paid her the honor of exhibiting 65 photos of Hepburn in many of her greatest roles. There she was, the stage-struck young beauty in 1933's Morning Glory, the prim but game Rosie in 1951's African Queen, the indomitable Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1968's The Lion in Winter. Yet nothing could capture the essential Hepburn better than her pose in the 1939 Broadway production of The Philadelphia Story, as cool and serenely regal in slacks...
...from landscapes to genre scenes. The Banjo Lesson, done in about 1893, is typical in its unsentimental, robust honesty. Tanner's first one-man show, in Cincinnati, failed to sell a single picture to the public.

But, she insists, "the public loves to guess." In one of her columns, she told how "Miss PP" (for Prim and Proper) berated "Mr. VV" (Visually Virile) for what she called "his on-screen presence" while shooting a picture. "But I'm the leading lady, dear," the actress was reported to have remarked to her costar. To many in Hollywood, the initials meant Julie Andrews and Rock Hudson...
...Columbia." Like the troubled campus on Morningside Heights, Harvard, to many of its students, is a large impersonal school with a faceless administration and a brilliant faculty who are as much concerned with the demands of research as with the art of teaching. Despite its past reputation as a prim, proper school for the elite, Harvard today is undeniably hip (TIME, March 14). It has as many beards as Berkeley, as much grass as Columbia?and one of the nation's most active S.D.S. chapters...
