...Dinner's not done yet," smiles Joni, as the sweet-and-sour aromas of cooking drift through the open door, "but come back to the kitchen anyway. It's the best room in the house." Walking past packing boxes, a Tahitian rhythm drum and half a dozen guitars splayed next to a piano, Joni pirouettes proudly. "Isn't this a great old place? It was built in 1929. Look, it even has a hidden bathroom" (behind a wooden panel in the corridor wall...
...Frank Capra's racy and extremely successful It Happened One Night with Clark Gable and an incomparable bedroom scene. Worth nothing that the famous Leg is not Claudette Colbert's. Also at the Science Center is the Laughton version of Mutiny on the Bounty, infinitely better than the later Tahitian Treat model with Marlon Brando and the entire native population of the South Pacific. Bagie's at the Brattle, it being that time again, and Citizen Kane, at the Orson Welles as of Sunday, is always worth a look, even though the Rosebud bit looks sillier and sillier with every...

Disneymen call their creation a "total destination resort"-not just a stopover, in other words, but a place to spend a weekend or a week. Early guests have been staying at the Polynesian Village Hotel, built in Tahitian style along a lake shore, with 500 rooms in five so-called long houses. The Contemporary Resort Hotel, which looks vaguely like a Mayan pyramid and features a 14-story-deep lobby appropriately called the Grand Canyon Concourse, will be finished by January, and two more cavernous hotels-in Persian...
...Lowell House presentation, a Greek chorus sets the stage and beautifully suggests the pair's lifelessness and plasticity by treating them as just two more props to be moved into place. Another innovation is the actual acting out of the Tahitian movie, a touch that makes the suburbanites shrink further into irreality, by graphic contrast with the film characters of their imagination...
