Miss Revier has a difficult role AZ
the dance hall queen. who marries
in haste and repents at leisure. She
has some exceptionally fine scenes
with Graves and some that are
highly dramatic with Holt.
The ~.plot revolves around two
buddies. who have formed a Damon

twist OF fate one buddy makes love

that 1t will be impossible to reach
them. Here Holt comes into his own.

leads to confusion. But in its pres

something that is SO difficult to de-
fine. TO see genius work one need
only to go to Boston's Symphony
hall OH a Friday afternoon or Satur-
day evening. For at those times the
Boston symphony orchestra is CIV
ing its concerts, and its leadership
is i'm thehands of a true genius OF the
art of conducting Serge kousse-
