...Sarton, a well-known American poet and novelist, read selections from her latest volume of poetry, Cloud, Stone, Sun, Vine, to a large audience in Allston Burr B last Wednesday afternoon. It was last session of the Wednesday soon Poetry Reading Series. Miss Sarton opened her program with "a poem about coming home" called "Aux Saisons aux Chateaux."

Elsewhere in the city, productions of As You Like It and Macbeth were on the boards last week. Most Los Angeles theaters are the small-capacity off-Broadway type (locally called "off Vine") that run smoothly on three-quarters of a shoestring and will try almost anything but a new play. Few make money, but some coin it. Two small L.A. theaters recently reported box-office receipts of $1,000,000 between them over the past two seasons...
