...subsequent transformation to cleverness and understanding is a surprise in the light of the earlier characterization. Miss Fuchs appeared again as Marcolfa, the servant, and did her usual good job. Mary Anne Goldsmith as Belisa's mother was brief and entertaining, as were Ann Arensberg and Lucia Stein as elves. I suspect Wendy MacKenzie, although charming enough in the part of the bride, was partly responsible for the failure of clarity at the end of the play. Nevertheless, it came off pretty well, and Don Bourne's sets and Bill Meador's music added considerably to the production. These last...
...Leon Stein's The Fisherman's Wife, produced with two-piano accompaniment by the International Society for Contemporary Music in Chicago, was based on another Grimm story, this one about a fellow who catches an enchanted fish, gives it its freedom and is granted his every wish in return. His shrewish wife takes over the wishes for herself. She becomes king, then emperor, but when she demands that she be made God, the whole strike-it-rich setup collapses. Composer Stein, 44, who is a conductor and a teacher at De Paul University School of Music...

Picasso once brushed aside a criticism that his portrait of Gertrude Stein did not look like her by saying simply: "It will." In Manhattan, Vienna-trained Painter Rudolf Ray, 63, is trying to go Picasso one better. His aim: to arrive at the final "soulscape," the abstract essence of the sitter, by painting a series of eight portraits-one on top of the other. To the uninitiated the soulscapes may look like nothing more than shards of colored glass or a heavy calligraphic scrawl. But to Ray's followers, who include Hindu gurus, Taoist philosophers and Jung disciples...
Warmed by the enthusiasm of three expatriate Baltimore friends-Gertrude Stein and her brothers Leo and Michael -the Cone sisters were soon heads over heels in modern art. At Gertrude Stein's urging, Miss Etta traveled to Picasso's grubby Montmartre studio, picked up a handful of drawings for 100 francs. The sisters met young Matisse, started buying his work. They were off to a glowing start toward building their fabulous collection of modern French art, today valued...
