...mock-sinister Sheik Ilderim, whose fine white horses won the chariot race. He first earned wide recognition on the West End stage as the leering General St. Pé in Anouilh's Waltz of the Toreadors, and on Broadway as Thomas Wolfe's father in Look Homeward, Angel. Last year, doing Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle in London, he nearly deprived the world of his future services when, during the hanging scene, he slipped off the box he was standing on and hanged himself in full view of the audience. After gurgling and turning black, he passed...
...Complete Piano Sonatas (Angel). Artur Schnabel's death in 1951 did not slow the growth of his reputation as a pianist. In his time, he was considered the world's only true interpreter of Beethoven, and a matchless player of Mozart, Schubert and Brahms as well. But in the age of pianistic wizardry that has followed him, he seems even more-a musician among pianists, an artist among musicians. Of his many great recordings, the chef-d'oeuvre is his collection of all 32 Beethoven sonatas, here handsomely presented in a handsomely annotated edition...
...Writer & Angel. Many Rothschilds have flashed their wings outside these venerable surroundings. Versatile Philippe de Rothschild, 61, another of Guy's cousins, is a vintner, writer, and angel to assorted arts, leading a life as carefully modulated as a string quartet. He is the official French translator of British Playwright Christopher (The Lady's Not for Burning) Fry, and with his wife Pauline is translating into French the Elizabethan poems of Herbert, Herrick, Wyatt, Drayton and Sir Philip Sidney. His daughter Philippine, 28, is an actress on the French stage, and his niece Nicole, 39, produces films...
...attempted suicide several times, with a sword by his side so that he would die with the appearance of a knight. Finally he succeeded. But without the Venetian visionary's work, such 18th century masterworks as the airy cityscapes of Canaletto and Guardi, the angel-frosted ceilings of Tiepolo and the imaginary prisons of Piranesi might never have come to grace great museums...
...drags. Much of the credit for its success must go to the supporting characters. The chorus looks as good as it sings and dances--and it does those very well. Particular notice should be given Felicity Colby, as the deadpan fan, Carol Derris as Kim's best friend, and Angel Phelan, the ludicrously seductive secretary. Strong support also comes from Jaye Schulman, the persistent mother, and George Selden, versatile Mayor and Shriner chieftain...
