...money ($10,000) to put on his show. Finally, with some friends, he organized a producing company and leased a tiny (299 seats) theater. Thanks to Critic Atkinson and encouraging reviews from other critics (the Herald Tribune's, Walter Kerr spoke of the show's "sensuous excitement . . . warm, intense, illuminating conviction"), the play is a bustling sellout...
...built from designs by Connecticut Architect Eliot Noyes (TIME, June 22). Built around large nylon and rubber bubbles, reinforced with wire and then sprayed with two coats of concrete (called shot crete), the houses can withstand winds of 125 m.p.h., are sealed against the hordes of insects found in warm climates. Inside, partitions reach up just to the curve of the ceiling; only the bathroom is enclosed, with Fiberglas. The four-room, two-bedroom houses are expected to sell for around $6,500 when the houses are built on a mass-production basis. Savings come mainly in elimination of nails...

As his bow drew the music from the strings, his body seemed to play its own accompaniment. Now he rose on his toes, now he shrugged with a phrase, now he twisted and bent forward. The hall's matinee audience...
...curing hides by a great deal of manual work, Colonial-now has a conveyor belt to carry hides past splitting and shaving machines, uses automatic controls to mix acids and oils in correct proportion to tan them, and still more automatic controls to circulate just the right amount of warm air in drying rooms to finish curing the hides. In the past, it took six men eight hours to tan 50,000 square feet of leather; now two men do a better job 20% faster...
