  7.     MAURICE SENDAK talks about the current state of children's
  8. entertainment with the sort of high-minded haughtiness usually
  9. reserved for pbs spokesmen. "Home Alone and Beauty and the Beast
  10. are reductionist and silly. Children are being patronized,"
  11. argues the author-illustrator. In an effort to open young minds
  12. to a finer culture, Sendak, along with writer Arthur Yorinks,
  13. developed the Night Kitchen, a national children's theater. The
  14. company will soon debut with an untitled comedy co-directed by
  15. actor Bill Irwin. Also slated: an operatic Hansel & Gretel.
