With all due credit to Mr. Welles, the Theatre Guild, and the Mercury Theatre, "Five Kings" cannot hope to compete with Maurice Evans' production of Henry IV--inaudible diction alone will ensure that -- and even the best Shakespeare has a limited audience appeal. When it is so difficult to produce one play, it is hard to understand why Mr. Welles has undertaken to produce two, and possibly three. Some of these days we will have to run over to the Colonial after breakfast and find out just how many plays are being offered, but in this case "Five Kings...

Dapper Joe Smoot, who had built Hialeah in 1925 and started the building of California's Santa Anita six years ago, had a harder time than he expected getting his latest racetrack in operation. He had to appeal to the State Supreme Court before he could get a permit from the Florida Racing Commission, which felt it was unsound for two tracks to operate at the same time in Greater Miami. After the permit was finally granted, Promoter Smoot decided to pull out. Contractor Horning, by this time infected with Promoter Smoot's enthusiasm, took over the track...
