...program note, Kahn says: "The play is set on a stage which is a playground which is an arena which is a battlefield. The games of this play are the games of war, of conquest, of territory, of power, of betrayal, and of love--games played every day in the playground--and the space is transformed, as the playground is, into whatever or whatever the players want it to be." The trouble with this is that the Elizabethans did not regard these things as "games", as mere make-believe; these things were the very stuff of history and the very...
Kristoffer Tabori is most appealing as the young smooth-cheeked sidekick that Pistol inherited from the dead Falstaff. (Whereas Shakespeare designates him simply as "Boy," the program calls him "Davy," through Davy in 2 Henry IV was Justice Shallow's servant and not Falstaff's). When the Boy is left alone with a field of corpses, he slowly wanders about, deeply, shaken and unhardened by his hands.

Federated Chairman Ralph Lazarus, 55, figures that a big acquisition program would stir up the trustbusters, so he aims to double Federated's $1.8 billion in sales over the next decade mainly by internal growth...
...director named Henry Koster, who wants to match a 1937 Koster triumph (Deanna Durbin and Leopold Stokowski in A Hundred Men and a Girl) with a new musical concoction. Koster outlines the story. A touring symphony orchestra is about to return to New York to put on a charity program "for crippled children." The cymbal player comes down with a contagious disease in Moscow ("We can work out the disease later"), and the whole orchestra is quarantined-all except its Lenny Bernstein-type conductor. He rushes home but cannot find a substitute orchestra and is about to give up. Suddenly...
