Yes, whatever the planetary alignment is, it has signaled for my silence. So I will post a quote and then comment on Quincy's thoughts on Monday. In the meantime, chew on this:
"When the aspiration and exclusiveness of high art were countered with the vigour and craft of entertainment, then the pretensions of the one and the sentimentality of the other were both under mutual surveillance, and it was somewhere there, in the middle of this collision that you were likely to find a healthy--a Shakespearean--kind of theatre."
