Among the stage highlights will be Douglas Moore's opera, "The Ballad of Baby Doe" (Thurs., Fri., Sat.); Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" (June 21, 23); a revival of George M. Cohan's "The Tavern" (June 22, 24); and "American Dances," a chronicle of America's contribution to the dance (all next week...
...sure, but the invaders have been eager to preserve the pastoral traditions and manored customs of another era. The stately homes are well kept, and some of the nation's finest horses are pastured behind dazzling whitewashed fences. Except for its new French chef, the Red Fox Tavern in the hamlet of Middleburg (pop. 663) is much as it was when Mosby's Rangers made it a regular stop during the War Between the States.

Though the play was probably first given in a chapel, its tone is better suited to a tavern. Almost any place would have been better than Boylston Hall; my own choice would have been Cronin's.

It is among all this that Goethe propels his chief characters, Faust and his tempter-companion Mephistopheles, and that Goethe contrives...
...that education is the solution, in spite of the many who claim that educating the criminal is like sharpening the claws of the lion. Education and and crime are incompatible. I refer to the type of crime committed by the group that is society's primary concern, the tavern-robbing criminals on their way to reform school or to prison for the first time. This group, I believe, can be reformed through education...
