...blooming bundle from Britain, packed away from the blitz with her actress mother and sent to study drama in New York. She was, she says, "16, going on 95" when she got her first job-as a nightclub singer and impressionist in Canada. "I did Bea Lillie, Gracie Fields and a Wagnerian opera singer," she recalls. "I wasn't awfully good." True, but her nightclub spot earned enough money to pay her passage to Hollywood, and it was there, at 17, that she got her first movie role, and there that casting directors decided that Angela Lansbury...
...mother, easily her best to date, and not once does she lapse into any of the mannerisms that have marked her last three performances. Susan Channing plays the daughter. Her sheer technical skill is amazing, and she manipulates the emotions of the audience with the slightest change of expression. Bea Paipert plays the Cook and effectively establishes the mood and tone of the production, on which the other characters have to build.

It is just as nobody predicted: Lauren Bacall can pack them in the theater the way she packed them in the movies back in the '40s when she was Mrs. Humphrey Bogart. "Looks like I'm one hell of a Broadway draw," she drawls...
...Justice. Although he was opposed to the changes, Cardinal Bea urged the bishops to approve the draft, arguing that the rewording did not affect the basic intent and merely stressed "those things which unite men and lead to mutual fellowship." Predictably, Jewish organizations responded favorably to the vote for the declaration, although their enthusiasm was something less than ecstatic. That there should be debate at all on the question of Jewish guilt seemed wrong to some; others felt that the bishops had compromised by adopting a statement that was less forthright and to the point than it might be. Particularly...
