...syrmate,” Billings’s “Chester,” Haydn’s “Lord Nelson Mass,” Vaughan Williams’s “Dona Nobis Pacem,” and works by Handel, John Adams, Kurt Weill, and Pete Seeger. Tickets $25-$35. First Congregational Church, 11 Garden St., Cambridge...
...Marshall Fisher's impressive series, Discover the Lost Musicals, has flourished since 1988. In 1994, the year Encores! began, the York Theatre uptown inaugurated a Musicals in Mufti series (its motto: "Think Encores! on a budget") to spotlight "underappreciated" musicals by such highly appreciated composers as Richard Rodgers, Kurt Weill, Duke Ellington, Jule Styne, Harold Rome, Noel Coward and Alan Menken. Downtown, and way downscale, there's Mel Miller's Musicals Tonight! series, which this week finished a run of the 1926 "The Girl Friend," by Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, and which last month won a Village Voice Obie grant...
...Apparently some scenes and songs are missing, prompting Cohen to call this "the kind of movie that begs for a restored and expanded release on DVD." I'd also ask for a CD of the score, with Seuss lyrics and music by Frederick Hollander, the cut-rate Kurt Weill who wrote most of Marlene Dietrich's most famous ballads.

...over the next decade, as the stakes and Dimon's profile got bigger, those good-natured shouting matches between Weill and Dimon became more ill-tempered. It didn't help matters that Weill's daughter left the company after run-ins with Dimon. By the time of the April 1998 merger between Travelers and Citicorp, Weill had become openly critical of Dimon, who suddenly found himself without a seat on the new board. He left after just seven months, joining Bank One in March 2000. With his hard-nosed approach, Dimon instilled a much needed sense of urgency and accountability...
...Morgan Chase will still lack the global reach and insurance breadth of Citigroup (the former might also want to acquire a retail brokerage). But as much as anything else, investors are banking on Dimon's stubborn pride to make sure this one will be different. Weill and Dimon may have patched things up at a personal level--indeed, Weill was one of the first outsiders to call his former protege to congratulate him on last week's big news. But Dimon, who took boxing lessons during his 18-month sabbatical before joining Bank One, clearly relishes the opportunity...
