...witness chair and exposes his Bible-belting oratory as so much hot air. A most exciting scene, this, and much of the excitement is due to the fine performance of Melvyn Douglas as Darrow. One scarcely realizes just how well Douglas acts until he sheds the shuffling, angular manner of the lawyer and comes onstage for his curtain call, transformed and years younger than he has seemed throughout the play. James Westerfield, while not always as convincing as Douglas, still aquits himself capably as Bryan...

He quickly showed that the boss, Multimillionaire Eugene Meyer, now 80, could not have picked a more...
What the critics and public alike were cheering about was not so clear. Both of Buffet's shows last week were built around the single theme, "The Circus." The pictures are all the same unmixed Buffet of morbid subject and individualistic craftsmanship: a rapid, flat, angular style carried out in monotonous grey tones accentuated with blue, dull olive and bilious yellow. The canvases displayed shabby acrobats, gaunt and ugly women performers, emaciated jugglers and grim freaks (see cut). Curiously, all the figures had the same sad features-Buffet...
