Several answered with enthusiastic, informative letters. Maurice de Vlaminck, Georges Rouault and Marc Chagall sent along some of their own writings. Andre Derain's reply was a collector's item, a beautiful letter apparently done with brush or drawing pen. The best came last, from Raoul Dufy, who wrote that he wanted to help and would like a favor in return. He asked Dalton to find a house for him to rent in Tucson, where he could go to treat his arthritis. Dalton got busy and, as requested, kept the news of the trip to himself...

The Green Pastures has a storybook simplicity, a picture-book vividness. It has the folk imagination's ability to recreate in its own image, to animate with its own sufferings, to interpret with...
...Green Pastures" has come out of retirement, after almost 19 years, and this production makes one wonder why New Yorkers let it leave Broadway in the first place. It is comic, dramatic, compassionate, and sometimes tragic. And it is something more. Perhaps that is why playwright Marc Connelly calls it a "fable," rather than a play...
