Bermuda businessmen, long reluctant to jeopardize revenue from discrimination-prone U.S. tourists, last week let down most of the island's social color bars. Top hotels-Belmont Manor. Castle Harbour, Princess, Elbow Beach. Inverurie, St. George-announced their intention "to accept reservations for dining, dancing and entertainment from local residents without discrimination," and to allow visiting (but not resident) Negroes in rooms. Most smaller hotels, nightclubs and restaurants followed suit; movie theaters abandoned segregated seating. Bermuda's 28,000 Negroes (in a population of 45,000) won their new gains through a boycott of movie houses. White Bermudians...
William Roberts' set is imaginative and functional, though the shutter effect is very reminiscent of the projections used in the Broadway production of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.

A magnificent Renoir Bagneuse is next, with blended brushwork, brilliant light...
...Harvard graduate who settled in Florida six years ago, promptly began making a name for his small, Sarasota-based firm by arguing that a house need not be a box, or even box-shaped. In his top-prizewinning house for Samuel H. Herron Jr. at Venice, Fla. (see color and blueprint). Lundy threw a parasol of laminated southern pine arches over the living areas as an independent roof shelter, then skillfully combined the whole series of circles and rectangles into a floor plan that he hoped would not only be practical but also allow for the whims of the owners...
