It is quite a way to June & we don't know when we'll be there.

Saturday & Sunday nights our big event was the Opera "Boris Godunov" by Mussorgsky. It was to presented on the college movie house, Sun. night (25¢ movies), so our Russian teacher assembled as many students as she could Sat. night & lectured to us on the Russian history of that period, the composer & composition, etc.: very well. The movie, Russian-made in "magicolor", their technicolor, was really excellent. We'd never seen a really good Russian movie -- the classic movies are heavy & dull. I was happy to catch words here & there. It is Jack's favorite opera, & we bought it a year ago. It occurs at the time of Shakespeare & Pushkin[[strikethrough]]s poetry [[/strikethrough]], upon [[strikethrough]] which [[/strikethrough]] whose poetry it was based, was much influenced by Shakespeare. It is really like Richard II, also Macbeth, a most moving tale of a doomed monarch. Maybe you or Sophy would see if it came your way, which it probably won't.  

Sounds as if Holmes led a strange "life."

Love,
Doris
