...giant, evil-colored moon that slides malevolently across a leaden sky. The aura of decadence set the mood for Salome's dance of the veils. For Nilsson's performance, it was more choreographed hootchy-kootchy than basic bump and grind. Coiffed in a black mushroom wig, she swayed and shimmied, shedding red chiffon veils until she was down to black net tights and corset...

Bach a belated bestseller by scat-singing him (Bach's Greatest Hits), have tried to do the same by Mozart (Sonata No. 15, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik). Unfortunately, young Mozart never was as cool a swinger as the Old Wig, and the babaladelahs sound emptier festooning his classical melodies...
Walk a few steps past the American history monographs on the fourth level of Widener's stacks and you will find yourself amid such engaging titles as The Vice Czar Murders, Death in the Wheelbarrow, The Corpse Wore a Wig, and Who Cut the Colonel's Throat?

Gray), a rich aristocratic rightist, decides to hold a wig party in a Gothic catacomb of a cellar. All his guests are to come as leading figures of the Revolution. Maxime himself plays Saint-Just. Other friends play Danton, Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI ("virtually a nonspeaking role") and the Comte de Mirabeau. The butt of the party is to be Bitos (Donald Pleasence), the local deputy prosecutor...
