...House of Commons swiftly returned a "humble address to the King" assuring George VI that it would do as he asked with all speed, but this applies only to the United Kingdom and its Crown colonies. George VI is in each Dominion separately King, and no act of the Mother of Parliaments can settle in London who is to be Regent as far as Ottawa, Canberra, Wellington, Cape Town or Dublin are concerned...

According to himself, Prime Minister King has been willing to do every good thing the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council should decide was "constitutional" under the British North America Act, which is the Constitution of the Dominion.

Baritone Lawrence Tibbett was singing the role of murderous Count Guido who stabs to death his wife and her parents. As he pretended to kill old Pietro, he turned his knife aside in traditional opera style, accidentally slashed Basso Joseph Sterzini between the thumb and forefinger. Sterzini pooh-poohed his wound, wanted to finish the scene. Tibbett, his friend for 15 years, had a tourniquet applied...
