...Conductor Erich Leinsdorf, Principals Lisa Delia Casa, Cesare Siepi, Mildred Miller and Regina Resnik sang with the security and style that comes from long experience. Of the two singers making their debut, Finnish Bass-Baritone Kim Borg (as the Count) was adequate, but Swedish Soprano Elisabeth Soederstroem (as Susanna) was a silvery voiced delight. The sets by Designer Oliver (Rashomon, House of Flowers) Messel were superbly elegant: a boudoir whose rose-colored silk panels and drapes glowed with a kind of faded splendor, a formal garden suffused with the feathery, misty charm of a landscape by Watteau...
...particularly lamentable. Shimizu might take his cue. When Corinth does a watercolor like The Beautiful Imperia, a loose wash of lucid color, he arrives at a quality which most of his Teutonic contemporaries generally lack--a naive loveliness, (the word used wholly in complimentary fashion.). The same goes for Susanna and the Elders or Imperial Palace. But when he draws, or tries to draw, his linear Knight, the result is nothing short of inexcusable...
Even the parent who decides on more conventional, nonmilitary toys will still have to deal with mechanized wonders, such as Knickerbocker's battery-powered organ ($12.95), on which a child can learn to play such simple tunes as Oh!

Last week Frank Sinatra, 39, sang with his bobby-soxer daughter Nancy, 17, whom his scripters described as having the "sweet, cool disposition of a strawberry soda." Says Frankie: "A bit of show-business exposure goes a long way toward developing poise and self-confidence." Coming...
...tidying up. The overture to the Marriage of Figaro is one of the best; it impels you to a gay scurry ideal for the purpose. And then, on to the Venetian blinds! You can't. When the curtain goes up, Figaro is measuring and planning and Susanna is trying on a hat. Their music is for rearranging your furniture in different positions . . . And you don't have much time because soon Figaro will swing into Se vuol ballare, one of the best woodwork-washing pieces ever composed . . . How would I like an opera to open? With Venetian blinds...
