Charley's Aunt (by Brandon Thomas, produced by Day Tuttle & Richard Skinner). One of the more notable howls of dramatic history rose in the '903-a farce written by an English actor who knew his trade. It still holds fourth place for consecutive performances (1,466 during its original London run), after Tobacco Road, Abie's Irish Rose, Chu-Chin-Chow. But it has been played oftener, all told, than any drama except Hamlet, was once presented simultaneously by 44 companies, has been translated into at least 20 languages, is the only play that has been rendered...

Last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Rupert Brandon Raney of the University of Southern California's medical school reported "a hitherto undescribed surgical procedure relieving attacks of angina pectoris." Eleven patients, said Dr. Raney, underwent this remarkable operation. There were "no deaths, and all ... obtained complete relief . . . from desperate attacks" sometimes occurring as often as ten times...
...Geste (Paramount), an attempt to give voice to Herbert Brenon's 1926 silent classic of the French Foreign Legion, follows its original so relentlessly that it resembles nothing so much as a talking mummy. Archeologists will recognize scene for scene the progress of the Geste brothers from happy Brandon Abbas to unhappy Morocco, while younger cinemaddicts are following less than breathlessly the mystery over who stole that sapphire of sapphires, the Blue Water. Both will be apt to find the fraternal devotion of the Gestes rather mawkish, Actor Gary Cooper something short of the Beau ideal. Although the desert...
