Nothing much has been added actually. The new introduction has the twin virtues of being crisper and spoken by Clare Scott. Miss Scott promises fun with a light touch which the rest of the evening can now deliver pretty consistently. The "To the Manor Bron" sketch and the concluding bit could both be shaved again, but with the changes already made in the show, these slow-ups are by far the exceptions. The pace is dazzling now: director Ed Golden being responsible for the production's sharp aim and high gloss...
...first number in the show which I thought had any merit at all turned out to be the best of the evening. Clare Scott sings a song called "Mogambo Rag"--musically, lyric--and performance wise a perfect revue number.

U.S. Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce flew in from Rome ahead of him to help in the arrangements. While Scelba did not come specifically to seek aid, the important question of U.S. help to his country is bound to come up. His reception as an honored guest in the U.S. is certain to bolster his political position at home...
...Galway, where the big modern buildings of the Western Regional Sanatorium face the mountains of Clare, the case of Bernadette Healy, 19, typified both a century of tuberculosis' ravages and the abrupt change of recent years. Her father, who raised potatoes on two acres, used to tell Bernadette how two neighboring families had been wiped out by the "shameful weakness" of TB. Though he complained about his own "weak chest," he stubbornly refused to see a doctor...
