...White Nights." For most tourists, Leningrad, the old czarist capital of St. Petersburg and cradle of the Revolution, with its superb setting on the Neva River, is the handsomest city in the Soviet Union. Number one draw is the Hermitage Museum, which contains a dazzling art collection of nearly 3,000,000 works that includes a whole room of Rembrandts, and the world's finest assemblage of Gauguins, Matisses and early Picassos. Two other great sights: the Peter and Paul Fortress housing the tombs of all the Romanovs from Peter the Great to Alexander III (except Peter...
...production is chiefly of interest to students of scenic design. John Braden's lush imagination has ushered forth a superb French rococco doctor's office and an oversize roadster, whose potboiling sound effects drown out many of the lines in the first act.

"Alertness, enthusiasm and confidence" is Stanky's explanation-which translates into hustle, bustle and bluster and sums up the White Sox manager as well as his team...
...lower middle class and who are always irritating the Sawneys. The bobbies are always poking around, and the building inspector keeps checking up on the march of decay that is sweeping over the Sawney's house. The Sawneys grunt, roll over, and start to rebel. In a superb gesture of contempt, old Sailor Sawney, the clan's patriarch, pisses in the Jackson's geranium pot. Before they know it, the police, the neighbors, the Welfare State have crushed the dirty, free, vicious vagrants...
