At the act's end, when Figaro mockingly congratulates Cherubino on his future military career, he punctuates the aria Non più andrai with a solid boot to the rump. But Ritchard's worst sin, according to the purist critics, was turning the Countess from a person of "breeding and dignity" into a delightfully sprightly lady with an occasionally roving...
...public responded to the production with cheers, promptly bought out the next scheduled performance. Would General Manager Rudolf Bing boot out Ritchard and restyle the work, as the Herald Tribune's scholarly Paul Lang suggested? By no means.

The Mirror, a shrill echo of Labor Party slogans, plainly shared in Labor's loss of appeal to youth...
Right wing John McIntosh tallied for the varsity after eight minutes of the second quarter, lofting a 15-yard boot just over McClintock's arms. The last two varsity points came late in the last period, against the third Tufts goalie of the day, Jim Didey. Harv Mazer scored on a pass from Nick Lamont for the fifth Crimson goal, and three minutes later Bruce Johnstone tallied on a screened shot in front of the nets...
