...successful opera can su'Ter a theatrically weak book, but a really strong book can be a big problem; it threatens to overpower the music. Last week the New York City Opera presented its second Ford Foundation-supported opera of the season-Cleveland-born Composer Robert Ward's The Crucible, based on Arthur Miller's powerful play (first produced on Broadway in 1953). For the most part, score met text on equal terms, producing that rare and hoped-for result: an opera charged with tension...
...this makes for much rough talk and romantic warbling, with which Donnybrook! at its best has little to do. Matters perk up when a pub-owning widow (Su san Johnson) sings a lament for a spouse she could not lament less; matters tinkle prettily when the wedding guests toast the bride. Matters are brightest of all by way of Eddie Foy's flings and flashbacks into American vaudeville. When Foy dances on his knees, or his feet seem caught in twisted yarn, or he just sidles off from Ireland and the show, he provides literal footnotes to a great...
...given his instrumentalist sixteen pages of music which he may play in any order he chooses. Not having heard the work before, I found it difficult to determine whether the choice of the percussionist, Alain Jacquet, was a felicitous one.

Oral Surgeon Behrman had one case in which he removed nine teeth, plus a section of the gum, without undue bleeding. Surgeons in other fields have found that it is safer to keep a patient on anticoagulants even for such radical operations as amputating a limb, removing a lobe of a lung, or working inside the heart itself to free a hardened mitral valve. In most...
...Fortnightly, in August announced plans to start a China Democratic Party to give the Kuomintang its first real opposition (TIME, Sept. 19), the authorities apparently decided to arrest him first on sedition charges and then see what proof they could find. They also arrested his business manager, Ma Chih-su, 38, and his former accountant and secretary, quiet, moody Liu Tzu-ying, 54. Without waiting for the trial, the government's Central Daily News laid out the government's case. Secretary Liu had confessed, reported the News, that before Nanking fell in 1949 he was chairman...
