...Scala's Carmen is a grandiose production featuring Todd-AO-sized sets, live horses and a chorus of hundreds. But when statuesque Mezzo Lane stepped onstage dressed in black stockings and a startlingly low-cut shirt ("I never wear a brassiere''), she stopped every eye in the house.

Shrugging back the shawl collar of his bulky white cardigan to expose the embroidered red "B.R." on the breast of his black polo shirt, Rose said he hoped to fill the empty places in his mansion with more antique furniture.
