...funny as Sir Toby Belch. But there is much more in the role than he has extracted from it; he doesn't even live up to his own last name. Michael Wager acts a suitably foolish Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and looks ridiculous in his red and azure clothes and yellow gloves. John Karlen makes the most of the servant Fabian, the one badly written role in the play...
...weekend familiarity with burnt sienna and chrome yellow, Sunday Painter Dwight Eisenhower is an uneasy critic of other people's artistic output-especially when it includes political undertones. Last week at the presidential press conference, Maine Newshen May Craig asked Ike's opinion of the art section of the American National Exhibition in Moscow, which is, somewhat belatedly, being scrutinized by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (34 of the 67 artists represented, the committee charged, "have records of affiliations with Communist fronts and causes").

Both shindigs, together with the Boston Jazz Festival, are the handiwork of Newport Impresario George Wein, who advertises his various wares under the slogan, "Have Festival, Will Travel." Survivors of Newport are also expected this summer in the eucalyptus-fringed Hollywood Bowl (the First Annual Los Angeles Jazz Festival...

The brilliant lime-green brushwork which forms a halo around the artist's head is both economical and expressive and the demonic eyes with yellow pupils, the red defining lines of the nose and mouth, and the curious (and heavily painted) medallion all contribute to this great self-portrait's emotional intensity. My next favorite is Degas' La Chanteuse au Gant, a painting in which the design of the black glove brilliantly counterpoints the rainbow...
