Corinthian Pillars. The McDonnells were Roman Catholic; as Methodist-born Henry came courting, he decided to adopt their faith. No less a personage than Msgr. (now Bishop) Fulton J. Sheen gave him instructions, and married them in Southampton on July...
...lingering ghost of a sad Hamlet. Director Douglas Campbell has made a stylized harlequinade of Molière's comedy of avarice, with curtsying dances and puckish pratfalls, Halloween masks and wopsical hats.

While Brussels is officially bilingual from its street signs down to its liquor labels...

Conductor Burns, who orchestrated the show, here mixes in the strings that are missing on Broadway. The Sweetest Sounds, Nobody Told Me and the title song never sounded better...
