...like. All too human, The Glass Menagerie remembers the post-adolescent longing for freedom and adventure of a young poet caged in a fading, depressionistic tenement, but more, it characterizes the last generation that could daydream innocently. That era's dream machines were the phonograph and the movie projector, but they worked songs and pictures that opened romantic vistas so different from today's defined and redefined motion-coloring-books. The surpisingly good production at South House evokes Menagerie's melancholy past but knows also our electro-mood present and cries beautifully at the future that has passed into everlasting...
...Harvard who share Ruskin's opinion, but without such a conception art is not worth bothering with. I met very few people at Harvard who really cared about art, who sought it out as a first-hand experience rather than accepting passively what was flashed up on the projector or dished out in the anthologies. The guardians of the humanities do little to convince undergraduates of the importance of their subjects, and indeed do not seem very worried. To cite just one example, when a visitor lectures at the Science Center on constipation in worms or some such subject...

In a sense it is a machine that can virtually take you any place in any time." The big steel dumbbell is a German-made Zeiss planetarium projector, 12 ft. high weighing 5,500 lbs., with 27,000 parts. Images are beamed up from the two large spheres at either end of the projector. Its control booth, situated at the edge of the auditorium, looks like the cockpit of a spaceship. A three-panel console has 150 buttons...
