...Atlanta, faced with the cost of separately housing a symphony hall, theater, museum, ballet studio and art school, culture-loving Georgians decided to pool their efforts and put them all under one roof in the new, $13 million Memorial Arts Center, the work of two local architectural firms. Dedicated to the memory of 122 Atlanta arts patrons who were killed in a Paris plane crash in 1962, the center opened last month with a splendid exhibition of 59 paintings and drawings loaned by Paris museums.

This is the first time in Miss Karnilova's career (which includes performances varied as a stripper in Gypsy and Tevye's wife in Fiddler on the Roof) that we see enough of her to leave the theatre satisfied. As Hortense, the French lady on the hill who lets Zorba share her bed, she becomes a vision of lonely fortitude in the face of life's injustice. In one scene, during a song that tells of the "pretty admirals" who kept company with her in the distant past...
