...Till the conversion of the Jews" was Poet Andrew Marvell's way of indicating an immeasurably long period of time, and throughout history Christians have taken pains to hasten the day-from plain torture to the gentler persuasion of the American Board of Missions to the Jews. Such efforts are a grave mistake, writes Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr in the C.C.A.R. Journal, a quarterly of the Central Conference of American Rabbis...
Aching Sincerity. Actor Guinness has never been out of a job since. Three months later he was playing Osric to Gielgud's Hamlet, and the critics took special note of his "admirable popinjay." Then it was William ("a wondrous blank") in As You Like It, Sir Andrew Aguecheek ("a collector's item") in Twelfth Night, Lorenzo ("meditative, star-struck beauty that takes the breath away") in The Merchant of Venice. And at 24, he played his first Hamlet in an Old Vic production directed by Tyrone Guthrie. Most critics agreed that the Hamlet lacked force, but one wrote...
...April 2, 1914. His absence of identity is an official fact; no record of his birth exists. Last week Alec cautiously made a statement on the subject to a TIME correspondent: "My father generated me in his 64th year. He was a bank director. Quite wealthy. His name was Andrew.

Kleig lights blazed down from the Corinthian capitals of St. Andrew's Hall; diplomats and newsmen packed the galleries, photographers jammed the aisles. At one minute past 5 o'clock, the top half-dozen Communist bosses entered from the side, led by bald Nikita Khrushchev with his two Orders of Lenin gleaming from his dark lapel. Joining Russian-fashion in the applause...
...Merry Andrew (M-G-M). Danny Kaye is like Aladdin's lamp. Only when an audience rubs him the right way can the genie come out. No audience, no magic; and the cold glass eye of the camera is worse than no audience to an exquisite empathist like Kaye. But even in the worst of his pictures-and Merry Andrew is considerably better than that-Comedian Kaye exhibits the common trait of the greatest clowns, who are not funny because of what they do but because of what they...
