...Pollack's characterization of the House-keeper afforded what were perhaps the most enjoyable moments of the play, but Leslie Paul in the less rewarding role of the Aunt gave a performance outstanding for its sustained restraint and subtlety of characterization. Marilyn Whisman was the third of the Radcliffe trio which took top honors for the evening. Her Rosita was less assured than the others' characterizations, but her main fault was in trying to read a third and dramatic dimension into a character left two-dimensional by the author...
...double in the high and low hurdles, taking the 120 highs in 15.5 and the lows in 12.4. Fisher led in his speciality and nabbed a first in the discus as well. Freshman Paul Laskin came close to making that high-scoring due of MacKinnon and Fisher into a trio as he took a sparking first in the 220 and was just nosed out in the 100 by Ed Palmeri of Tufts...
...announcements seriously. At any rate, four Boston Symphony musicians including Jean Lefrane and Alred Zighera plus a pianist, Paul Doguereau, made their appearance and very smoothly and beautifully furnished two-hours of French chamber music, which included the Faure Quintette, Opus 89, the Quartet, Opus 15, and the Ravel Trio in A Minor. To most of those present, including myself, these works were more or less unfamiliar, but from the very cordial reception which greeted each selection, it would seem as if more concerts of this type, in spite of their somewhat limited appeal, would be welcome...
Most gifted of this trio was Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714-88), whose fame long outshone his father's. For 27 years C. P. E. had the politically impressive but musically dubious honor of accompanying Frederick the Great while he bore down on the flute. Frederick played a repertory of some 300 concertos in relentless rotation, nearly wore his accompanist out. When the Seven Years' War began, C. P. E. got temporary relief...
...other Coleman, however, is rather saturated in obscurity unless you follow jazz very closely. One reason is that he was in Europe for a long while until the war broke out. He has since played trumpet with Andy Kirk, Joe Sullivan, and is now with his own trio in some New York night club that I can't remember at the moment. I've never had much opportunity to hear Bill, but judging from "Bill Coleman Blues," made in France he is a remarkable soloist...
