...Stuttgart has completed its attempt to provide an acoustically perfect shape with its $2,600,000 Liederhalle.

Many romantics fondly believe that Anastasia survived the slaughter of the royal family in a Siberian cellar in 1918, escaped with two members of the firing squad, and is living today, an indigent widow, near Stuttgart, West Germany. On Broadway, Anastasia was a financially successful attempt, made in 1954, to resurrect this legend in the dubious form of a Cinderella story, with undertones of the old amnesia plot.
