Michael Mayer’s lush and lively big-s- creen adaption is unfortunately AP PHOTO no exception. On the plus side, Mayer, a ve- teran theater director, has if anything leaned more into the comic nature of “The Seagull.” Chekhov whose play was first performed in 1896, did indeed call it a comedy. That makes this “Seagull” a kind of flipside to Sidney Lumet’s dull and slug- gish 1968 version, essentially the only other significant film adap- tation of one of Chekhov’s most beloved works. Working from a script by Ste- phen Karam, Mayer seems eager to swing entirely in the other di- rection — perhaps too eager. His “Seagull,” the director’s third feature film (“Flicka,” ‘’A Home Annette Bening in a scene from “The Seagull” at the End of the World”), shrinks some of the play’s dialogue, rob- bing it of its rhythm, while never “The Seagull” is set around the stage and she brings along her love runs rampart in “The Sea- one at home in their role is Be- “The Seagull,” a Sony Pic- resting his ever-moving camera Treplev family estate (a glorious lover, the celebrated writer Boris gull.” (It also afflicts Elisabeth ning, who has recently, as Gloria tures Classics release, is rated nor quieting its ever-stirring score. lakeside upstate New York man- Trigorin (Corey Stoll), whose pre- Moss’ Masha).

Yale, which has brought five women to its class day over the past 20 years, said administrators usually play only a small role. A few colleges have brought a rough balance of men and women in recent decades. At Dartmouth College and Duke University, women account for 40 percent of spring speakers since 1999. Dartmouth offi- cials attribute it to a wide pool of successful female gradua- tes, along with some schedu- ling luck. At Vanderbilt, which has been bringing speakers for 15 years, 60 percent have been women.

A LOOK AT THE NEW NORWEGIAN BLISS CRUISE SHIP

orwegian Cruise Line’s

Nnewest ship, Norwegian AP PHOTO Bliss, has begun its U.S. inaugural tour with stops in New York, Miami and Los Angeles before a christening in Seattle kicking off a season of cruises to Alaska. The ship’s seven-day cruises to Alaska begin in June and will include one port call in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The ship’s features include a race course for electric go- karts, laser tag, a waterslide with a tube that swooshes you along the side of the ship and an observation lounge for enjoying Alaskan scenery. It’s also got a mojito bar, cigar lounge, brew house, Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville At Sea and Q Smokehouse, a Texas barbecue restaurant. As it repositions from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it will become one of the largest ships to ever navigate the Panama Canal. Norwegian Bliss measures 41 meters wide and 333 meters long (135 by 1,093 feet), while the canal is 50 meters wide and 400 meters long. Norwegian Bliss is the largest ship in Norwegian’s fleet, with 20 decks and a capacity of about 4,000 passengers. As cruise ships go, however, at least a half-dozen other ships are larger. Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas, which also set sail this spring, is the world’s largest, with a passenger capacity of 6,680. The hull of Norwegian Bliss features images of whales and other sea creatures designed by the artist Wyland, who is known for his depictions of marine life.

WENDESDAY (MAY 16) In Love with Macau – Calligraphy and Paintings of Macau

This exhibition shows a total of 90 pieces/sets of artworks by late calligraphers, painters and seal carvers who lived in Macau from the 1930s to the 21st century or somehow had ties with Macau, including Shang Yanliu, Zheng Jin, Gao Jianfu, Li Xiangen, and Lin Jin, among others. Due to the special geopolitics of Macau territory, many artists moved in to live or sojourned here to escape war and turmoil, and a few of them would go on to leave a distinct influence on modern Chinese calligraphy and painting. With their help, calligraphy and painting art in Macau developed by leaps and bounds. Through the actual works, this exhibition aims to raise the public’s interest in native culture, and provide an understanding of the role and contributions of Macau in the wider context of Chinese painting and calligraphy.

THURSDAY (MAY 17) Treasure from the Deep Sea - Exhibition of Underwater Archaeological Relics of the Nanhai No. 1

Nanhai No.1 shipwreck is the world’s existing richest and fullest aggregate of artifacts that reflect the culture of the Maritime Silk Routes. According to the site of its sinking and the characteristics of its artifacts, Nanhai No.1 was a civilian trade ship that set sail from Quanzhou Port during the Song dynasty. It was a Foochow junk, which is among the three major types of ships in ancient China. It was named Nanhai No.1 because it sank in the waters of the South China Sea on the Maritime Silk Routes and it was the first shipwreck that the China underwater archaeological team discovered there.
