...ultimately imprisoned by the larger framework. Similarly, she can flee her immediate situation only by finally tying herself more tightly: by marrying. The next sequence shows her running from her husband's mansion. A track pushes her from the living room to the entranceway, where lattices and walls immediately before and behind her head lock her tightly in close shot. A dark wall behind her (the house she's trying to leave) blocks the third side, and her husband runs before her to close off the final avenue of escape, to destroy her freedom. She bites and struggles violently...
When Lola first meets the King his room is filled with depth, but each spot in it is exactly limted and structured by the regular columns which rise from floor to ceiling, by the regular wall-cornicing in the background, by the desk and steps which divide up the spacious floor. The two figures in this setting are not isolated, but not confined either.

The master bedroom was turned over to Ernst's Histoire Naturelle, a subliminally suggestive panorama filled with prickly plants, grasshoppers and a lazy anteater carrying its baby over a brick wall.

As Mrs. Gallagher tells it in the first of two Ladies' Home Journal exce'rpts, Jackie 1) spent more on "family expenses" ($105,-446.14, including $40,000 for clothes) in 1961 than Jack made as President...
Even before any players appear on the Festival stage, the audience is confronted by balance in the form of Ed Wittstein's setting. In upstage center stands an imposing depressed segmental arch suggestive of some oversize fireplace. Its Ionic flanking columns hold up a gabled brick wall, with a set of cyma recta consoles supporting a three-arch window that sheds lambent light through its variegated diamond panes. Some distance to the right and left of this centerpiece are placed smaller diagonal arched doorways. When the garden scenes arrive, a section of brick wall and a bench roll in symmetrically...
