...Tense Trio. His latest drifting drama The Seven Descents of Myrtle, is middling-quality Williams at about the level of Period of Adjustment. The three characters who constitute the cast are scarcely well adjusted. Lot (Brian Bedford) has come home to the Delta to claim the decayed house and rich land bequeathed to him by his mother. He brings with him his two-day bride, a jittery ex-showgirl named Myrtle (Estelle Parsons), without having told her that they will confront his half brother Chicken (Harry Guardino). He is partially of Negro blood, and has lived in the house...
They make a very odd trio, indeed. Lot is impotent, a transvestite, and facing imminent death from TB. Myrtle is a sometime prostitute, and Chicken is a cut below Neanderthal man. A flood is in the offing, and Chicken gets his nickname from the fact that in a previous flood, he climbed to the roof with a few chickens and subsisted by biting their heads off and drinking their blood. Who will drink whose blood before this latest flood? Chicken is furious at losing the property to Lot's wife, and he has in his wallet a previously signed...

"Opera: Two to Six" starts with a Tosca duet by Joan Sutherland and Tito Gobbi, grows into the trio from Faust, the Verdi quartet from Rigolctlo, a Wagner quintet from Die Meistersinger, and finally the sextet from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammcrmoor, in which the two are joined by Nicolai Gedda, Jerome Mines, Mildred Miller and Charles Anthony...

Miss Kendall's absurd composure seems more daft and deft than the muggings and pratfalls of the near-hysterical comedians around...
BRAHMS: PIANO TRIOS (Philips World Series; 2 LPs). Severely self-critical, Brahms may have destroyed three times the number of compositions he saved. He left only three published works for violin, cello and piano. A fourth, which the Beaux Arts Trio has recorded for the first time, is attributed to the youthful Brahms by a scholar who found the unsigned manuscript in 1924. The well-known B Major is still the strongest of the trios, and its adagio is beautifully sung by the deep bronze-voiced cello of Bernard Greenhouse, the American-born member of the international Beaux Arts Trio...
