...television puts out three hours a day of newscasts, ballet, interviews, boxing, short films and full-length revivals (e.g., Marlene Dietrich in Blue Angel), and at least two plays a week. If only in technique, the plays are ahead of most things U.S. television has done. With no sponsors to worry about (the government foots the bill), BBC can experiment...
...Salvador Dali used a Christmas angel and Star of Bethlehem for a timely nylon ad-a painting hardly more offensive than the mawkish Madonnas and cute little representations of Jesus in most modern chromos, Sunday-school picture books and Christmas cards. Largely, they were hack work, to be judged in the same charitable spirit as cards featuring Santa Claus, Christmas trees and blazing hearths. Either as art or religion they did not pretend to much. As Sculptor Moore himself remarked, without a sigh: "The great tradition of religious art seems to have got lost completely in the present day." What...
Bill of Particulars. The stockholder group was formed by plump, pink-faced Clendenin J. Ryan, 42, well-heeled grandson of the late great financier, Thomas Fortune Ryan.

Injecting the gaiety are: 1) Grace Hartman, 2) Paul Hartman, 3) Hank Ladd. The three of them are the whole show; or rather, and most unfortunately, they aren't. Included also are some pretty dreary gags and skits, and some fairly routine songs & dances...
...years, with their burlesque dance antics, the Hartmans have been bright spots in various night spots. But it has taken a full evening's workout, in Angel, to reveal their full stature as clowns. When the script is on their side, as in a lampoon of one of those Mr.-&-Mrs.-at-Breakfast radio programs, the Hartmans can be extremely funny. Grace's flat voice and frozen facial muscles are a perfect foil for her husband's oafish ardors and accomplished gaucherie...
