Prospero's two servants, Ariel and Caliban, represent his control over the upper elements (air and fire) and the lower elements (earth and water). Ariel being half angel and Caliban half beast, the two constitute the termini of Shakespeare's world of humans. Clayton Corzatte, new to the company, is a model Ariel. He is lithe and clean, with an appositely light and attractive tenor voice (for both speech and song). His nimble and graceful movement, unprecedented on this stage, deserves no less a term than choreography; he performs the notable trick of being delicate and sprightly without ever becoming...
Indiscretion of an American Wife (Vittorio de Sica; Columbia) takes the moviegoer far across the sea to "the Eternal City of Culture, of Legend, and of Love." The customer is set down in Rome's bareboned, modern Stazione Termini. About him lies all the grandeur that was Rome, but he never gets out of that railroad station.

There would be imminent danger that the Arabs of Palestine, still piqued at Britain's unfulfilled promises of 1915, would revolt. And certainly the termini at Haifa and Tripoli of the pipelines from Mosul would fall into Italian hands. Britain's hold on the Near East would collapse...
...night last week a tall, tired, impassive U. S. diplomat, whose habitual uncommunicativeness was intensified by the fact that he had a cold, got to the Stazione Termini in Rome and went at once to his private car. One last Italian functionary arrived to bid him farewell. Then Sumner Welles, U. S. Under Secretary of State, in Europe on a special mission for President Roosevelt, turned in, although his train did not leave until...
