...station put the finishing touches on its first big television studio last summer and has just completed its second, an auditorium-type affair which can also be used for radio. At the moment, however, all WBZ's "live" television is shot in the first studio, a two-story room equipped with the newest in lighting. Compensating for the heat produced by floods, spots and a dozen banks of base lighting, ceiling air units pump in 8200 cubic feet of air per minute, thus completely changing the air every 11 minutes...
...Lovable Character." The next day the tabloids bloomed with cheesecake and photographs, re-enacting the whole affair for posterity. El Morocco banned Bogart "for life" in a pronunciamento delivered in tones as sepulchral as if he were being sentenced to the electric chair.

In a way, all of the band members are in the family. If one musician dislikes a new song, out it goes...
...many an occasion I went up to Mam-selle's boudoir to give her a long bong jour . . ."). Charley alone is enough to show why Novelist Elizabeth Bowen considers Henry Green "one of the living novelists whom I admire most." But Housemaid Edie, who builds their furtive little affair into a full-blown storm of love and wedding bells (in Britain), is an even more subtle and profound creation, warm as toast towards her Charley but cold and calculating as a stockbroker in getting him under the lock & key of matrimony. Cobwebs over Eire. Two such masterly characters deserve...
