Mr. Bill Haley, Carson McCuller's play "The Member of the Wedding," produced by enterprising Royal Court Theatre and a dazzling new cello concerto by Sir William Walton, which received its first European performance at the hands of Gregor Piatigorsky. Among more sober recent events has been the publication of Robert Speaight's "Hilaire Belloc," a magisterial and widely-praised life of the great Catholic poet and propagandist, based on Belloc's private papers.
