...stage within a surface of giant potato chips. This adequately serves the exotic Mediterranean Bermuda that Shakespeare specified for The Tempest; but it proves less fitting for Tweifth Night. Director Jack London, who has previously shown a penchant for gimmicking up his productions, has really gone 'round the bend this time, and must shoulder almost all the blame. I bet Shakespeare wishes he'd never added the subtitie "or, What You Will" to this play. At any rate, London has turned Tweifth Night into a comedy of errors. Imagine, if you can, a neoionic tempietto on stage right, with...
...slight, dark Italian prelate arrived in Manhattan without publicity, journeyed to South Bend, Ind. to receive an honorary LL.D. from Notre Dame (at the same time that Ike got his), then visited Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington last week before taking off for Brazil. Everywhere he met U.S. cardinals and top members of the hierarchy; his reception ranged from Boston's outdoor banners and hi-fied hymns to a dinner given for him in Washington by the Most Rev.

The collision flung Aly forward, and he was killed almost instantly by a broken neck (Bettina and the chauffeur were unhurt). Aly died as he would probably have wanted to: at the wheel of a low-slung car with a beautiful woman beside...
...girl washing her hair as Soap in Her Eyes. He did Three Caryatids Without a Portico, a Water Carrier with a pitcher for a head ("Just a jughead, I guess"), and "a vase that takes its head off." Hugo Robus' figures have a fluid charm that makes them bend to unheard melodies and swirl to soundless rhythms. But only in the last five years have these figures brought him enough to live on, and the Whitney show is the biggest one he has ever had. "My wife," he muses, "would have loved this show...
