Teen solves centuries-old math problem
NEW YORK, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- New York's 92nd Street Y says it is refunding tickets to those disappointed to hear actor and author Steve Martin discuss art rather than perform comedy.
Art critic Deborah Solomon interviewed Martin Monday night in front of an audience of about 900 people, many of whom were unhappy to hear him talk about his new book, "An Object of Beauty," which is set in the art world, Salon.com said.
"We acknowledge that last night's event with Steve Martin did not meet the standard of excellence that you have come to expect from 92nd St. Y," the Y's executive director Sol Adler said in an e-mail to ticket-holders Tuesday.
"We planned for a more comprehensive discussion and we, too, were disappointed with the evening," the message continued. "We will be mailing you a $50 certificate for each ticket you purchased to last night's event. The gift certificate can be used toward future 92Y events, pending availability."
