...evening, except for certain beautiful erotic-comic passages, are harder to pin-point. The play is based on a group of Finnish stories, and it manages to achieve a vaguely Finnish atmosphere: bracing and sparse. The series of unpretentious, easily-changeable settings (designed by Robert Skinner and Lorna Kreuger) have a good deal to do with this; the backdrops for successive scenes are frankly mounted on a large picture frame, and the effect is never more Brechtian than when substantial sections look as if they were made out of old packing-crates. The folkish songs composed (or, sometimes, borrowed...
...mother Rosalie, a Sunday-school superintendent for 40 years, nicknamed him "Glory" because he always had a smile on his face. Rosalie acted in amateur plays-a daring hobby at the time-and grew lilies of the valley on the north side of the house. She kept Lorna Doone and Tennyson within easy reach of the Willson children, and dressed curly-haired Meredith in a black velvet Fauntleroy suit on the occasions when he spoke a piece at the Congregational Sunday School.

June 16 witnessed a concert of choral and instrumental music by New England composers. Lorna Cooke deVaron led her carefully trained New England Conservatory Chorus in pieces dating from 1612 to the present. The unpredictable Charles Ives was represented by his strangely polytonal "Sixty - seventh Psalm;" Randall Thompson '20, Rosen Profesor of Music, by "Alleluia," his best piece; Irving Fine '37, by "Have You Seen the White Lily Grow?"; Carl McKinley '17, by a portion of his dramatic legend The Kid, which incorporated American cowboy song material and is scored for piano and percussion; and Mabel Daniels by her rousing...
...unwary Republican Governor Milward L. Simpson forgot that the fancy road comes to a dead end at the Oklahoma state line. His car hurtled off the concrete into an Oklahoma wheat field. The only one of five riders to be hurt was the governor's wife Lorna, who had forgotten to fasten her safety belt, but escaped with slight cuts and bruises...
