...kickoffs were booted into or near the end zone, limiting Wynn’s returns. Junior Thomas Hull averaged 41.3 yards per punt, including a perfectly placed 57-yarder from the Harvard 20 that landed out of bounds at the Penn 23. Penn’s punter Scooter Belasco couldn’t claim the same success. On a bad snap, Belasco tried to run it, and his inability to get the first down gave the Crimson the ball at the Penn 30. BREAKING THE DROUGHT Going into Saturday’s contest, Harvard was an abysmal...
...fourth quarter: Matt Belasco (listed as a RB/WR/P) just picked up six yards on the ground. These Penn players can seemingly do it all. On the next play, however, Ajayi finds DiMaggio in the backfield for a four yard loss. Maybe he'll lose so many yards that he'll be back down to 56! Please...
Other composers have turned turgid melodrama into art--Puccini exhumed Belasco creakers to create Madama Butterfly and La Fanciulla Del West--but Sondheim's score achieves little distinction.

Only the lushness of "Pretty Woman," the dissonance of "Epiphany," and the insouciance of "A Little Priest" salvage the first act from musical banality. Even here, the Metropolitan Center's gully of an orchestra pit prevents Sweeney's blazing razor attack from terrorizing even the first...
...that little Gladys Smith of Toronto apparently had at age five, when, after her father died, she started to act in stock companies. Under the guidance of her mother, the ultimate stage mom, she trouped her way out of the provinces to New York City. There Theatrical Producer David Belasco named her Mary Pickford, and D.W.

She was not permitted her first romantic screen kiss until 1927, 18 years after...
...wife. As the lights dim over wafting cigar fumes, another gentleman emerges from the wings to deliver a visceral rendition of "Vesti La Jupe" from Pagliacci. All of these tunes were written during the period 1894-1905, and the names of such luminaries as Victor Herbert and Davis Belasco appear in the credits...
