...pleaded an inheritance suit before the Illinois Supreme Court, and lost. But he lost few others over the next nine years, while building up a substantial reputation as a lawyer skilled in handling equity and corporate issues. Then, in 1938, two of Chicago's C.I.O. leaders-Van Bittner, a director of the Steelworkers' Organizing Committee, and Sam Levin of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers-asked Goldberg to represent the C.I.O.'s American Newspaper Guild, then on strike and in savage dispute with Hearst's Chicago Herald and Examiner. At that time both the C.I.O. and the Guild...
...Lafeu, and has come up with some very original and effective line-readings. Aline MacMahon is aptly warm-hearted as the Countess; and Barbara Barrie's Diana is properly wily yet pure. Hiram Sherman has fun with the Sergeant's mumbo-jumbo; and among other commendable jobs are Jack Bittner's Clown (though his most difficult passage is cut) and Sada Thompson's Widow...
...that one cancer (sarcoma) in chickens is caused and can be transmitted by a virus. Over the years, viruses were found to cause other tumors in birds and lower animals. But the gap between them and man seemed unbridgeable. Then the University of Minnesota's Dr. John J.

This led to the establishment of mouse "dairies," and the painstaking milking of tens of thousands of rodents. In 1951, Dr. Ludwik Gross of The Bronx Veterans Administration...
...Richard Waring. And Morris Carnovsky is marvelously crotchety as Caius, the French physician, who is normally "abusing of God's patience and the King's English." Carnovsky has introduced some side-splitting bits with a rapier; and indeed the entire Evans-Caius duel scene is brilliantly staged. Jack Bittner rants vigorously as the Host of the Garter Inn with an excessive penchant for the adjective "bully." Frederic Warriner is aptly idiotic and cringing as the suitor Slender. And nine-year-old Mark Carson acquits himself admirably in his amusing Latin lesson with Evans...
...finest male performance in this production is Jack Bittner's Tybalt. He plays Capulet's war-mongering nephew with brio and brimstone. Though physically very short of stature, Bittner is, by the time he is slain, fully one foot taller. Incidentally, all the swordplay in the production is splendid; arranged by Raymond Saint-Jacques, it is a far cry from the usual mamby-pamby skirmishing...
