...just hoping that this can happen in every institution in this country—and you can begin here.” The discussion also addressed Yale’s Sustainable Food Project and the steps Harvard is taking in a similar direction. Joshua L. Viertel ’01 was instrumental in creating the pilot program in one of Yale’s dining halls in 2003, and it has grown into a campus-wide initiative in which 40 percent of food options in each dining hall at Yale are sustainable. Martin Breslin, the director for culinary operations...
...humans' shoes, provoked an important debate about just how similar we primates are to one another. She died after a brief illness at 42. The death of his wife, the lovely Deborah Kerr, seems to have been too much to bear. Barely three weeks after she died, writer Peter Viertel passed away, leaving behind his own legacy of books and screenplays. Best known for parlaying his relationships with writer Ernest Hemingway and director John Huston into novels like White Hunter, Black Heart, Viertel had a gift for exposing the dark nature that accompanied their genius. He made his mark...
...This season, to celebrate the centenary of the first Ziegfeld Follies (which opened at the Jardin de Paris, Broadway and 44th Street, on July 8, 1907), the Encores! management led by Jack Viertel staged three musicals inspired or produced by Ziegfeld's grand old revues. These were extravagant revues featuring vaudeville stars, lavish production numbers and statuesque chorines in eccentric headgear, and they ran annually until 1925, then sporadically for another decade, even after the great impresario's death in 1932. The revue format hung on through the 40s and 50s, with Leonard Sillman's New Faces series...
...want to know everything I ever thought about the first 11 seasons of Encores!, look here. For a 2007 update, here are notes on the three latest shows: Follies, in February, Face the Music in March and a new revue, Stairway to Paradise, devised by Encores! artistic director Jack Viertel and playing, to the usual sold-out houses, through Monday...
...Berlin, with those six (terrific) songs, and Harold Rome, with three (lesser) ones, might be overrepresented in a show meant to be panoramic. The two sketches are amusing, and give the stars a chance to mewl and mug becomingly; but, from the same book (The Greatest Revue Sketches) that Viertel & Co. dipped into, I'd have chosen George S. Kaufman's brief, devastating "If Men Played Cards As Women Do" from Berlin's Third Music Box Revue of 1923. It has a quartet of burly gents punctuating a game of poker by gossiping cattily about clothes, makeup and rivals...
