METROPOLITAN-Fifth Ave. at 82nd. Something for everyone: Rembrandt's paintings and prints; Raphael's long-lost drawing of Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist; Wedgwood's revolutionary creamware; English jugs transfer-printed with American heroes and history; the architectural fantasies of previous world's fairs; Dutch, Flemish and French paintings...
...second season of the Tyrone Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis opened with a palpable hit, Henry V, and a palpable miss, Saint Joan. There are shortcomings in both. After a year of playing Minneapolis, the company has adopted a broader style, giving the Midwest audience the kind of easy laughs it seems to demand. The play choices are scarcely venturesome.

If he still has a dime and dials the officially listed police number, ST (for Saint George) 7-1200, he will get a business firm in Manhattan. The cops' correct number happens to be SA (for Saint George) 7-1200, but someone goofed when it came to listing it in the police roster. Manhattanites are told to call SPring 7-3100, which is hard enough to remember and even harder to dial in the dark. When help finally...
