Auch in Amerika opened to a packed house. At every political punch line, rhythmic rehearsed applause thundered from one section of the audience. Next day the Communist press dutifully trotted out reviews, though the chore was almost too much for Berliner Zeitung Critic Hans Ulrich Eylau, who cautiously wrote he thought the play's denouement a little hard to take. Gulped Eylau: "This is not to be a critical final judgment. It is just the result of a first encounter with a play that in spite of all its shortcomings is ... an enrichment of our scanty stock of political...
...grassy hillside, spent a month and a half brushing in each grass blade separately "to make it come toward you, that surge of earth." Perfectionist though he is, Wyeth does not aim to please. The warmth, charm and dazzle of color are foreign to him; so are rhythmic arabesques of line. Using egg tempera and tiny brushes, he paints mostly with dull browns, greys and blacks, composes his pictures to create a deathly sense of stillness and balance rather than of flow...

Aitken held consistently to his "black and white" interpretation in the very long slow movement, where it seems to me considerably more color is required to maintain interest. But essentially these criticisms are minor. Aitken gave an inspiring performance. The concert...
...Lomond. Queen Elizabeth, in a fur-trimmed coat, stood in the drizzle to tell the crowd: "This mighty scheme [will send] new strength surging into the very arteries of Scotland's being." Then she pulled the lever that set the Loch Sloy power plant in operation. As the rhythmic hum of generators signaled the first current, bagpipes skirled...
