...Blame Me." The man who caused this commotion is an Australian citizen with a sharp chin, a penchant for maroon bow ties, and a salesman's exuberance and extroversion. Born in Brisbane, he was the fourth of the eleven children of Paul Schwarz, a Viennese Jew who was converted to Christianity, became a Pentecostal lay preacher, migrated to Australia for his health in 1905 and, after World War I, prospered as a dealer in war-surplus goods. Fred Schwarz graduated from Brisbane's University of Queensland with both science and arts degrees, took a post as a science...
...maid." At this apparently innocuous announcement, the lady of the house looks up to smile a welcome. Her jaw drops. In the doorway stands a domestic disaster. The torso suggests a pup tent full of Jell-0, the hair looks like something dumped out of a vacuum cleaner, the chin resembles the business end of an ax, the eyes slide around like eggs on a plate, the tiny mouth might almost be a third nostril.

It has also surpassed Broadway's record-holding Life with Father by 521 performances.* The Mousetrap has become a prime attraction for British tourists down from the provinces, rivaling the Tower of London, and the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace...
...much bigger than I expected, and his large, broad face swivels slowly around at the audience, alternately pointing sharp nose and sharper chin at text and people. His hair parts, clerical-tightly, very neat; and his steel-frame glasses glitter and twinkle angrily. He stoops a little, like an old professor, and stands reading without a gesture. The tone and what he is reading give one the sense of listening to the words of a great stone oracle. All this makes him sound much more formidable than he really is, for what makes this stone oracle in black tie seem...
