...Devi," "Good old Dev, you've done a fine piece of work," rang out from thousands of Irish throats as the Prime Minister next day sailed up Dublin Bay. Political observers were agreed that "Dev" had come out on the long end of his three months' negotiations with the British. The only Irish demand not granted concerned the union of Eire and the six counties of Protestant Northern Ireland. This was temporarily shelved by de Valera in order 'to gain the other concessions, but it is deemed likely now that, with Anglo-Irish relations on a "good...
With much more savoir-faire than many a movie star, a little five-year-old stepped off a Pullman car at Belmont Park, N. Y. one day last week and patiently posed for dozens of cameramen who had come to greet him. The young visitor had just traveled 3,000 miles from San Francisco to keep an engagement with his uncle. The visitor's name was Seabiscuit, No. 1 money-winner of 1937, and he had come to run a $100,000 race, winner-take-all, with equally famed, four-year-old War Admiral, on Memorial...
When Broadway heard last summer that two up-&-coming young men were starting a new repertory company, play-goers waited with lively interest but natural distrust to see what Orson Welles, 22, and John Houseman, 35, would do with their Mercury Theatre.

If, on the one hand, these characters are the prototypes for all the bughouse comedy that has recently come into vogue, on the other hand some of theare Hamlets feigning madness to avoid going mad in earnest. Heartbreak House has the deceptive structure of an accordion: pushed in, it looks like a congested comedy of eccentrics; but pulled out to its full length, with Captain Shotovers booming prophecies, with...
...much brotherly love to some Southern diehards. Led by Virginia's Bishop Collins Denny (retired), these antiunionists pounded the racial angle for all it was worth. Stumping the South, 84-year-old Bishop Denny cried: "What are you going to do if eight or ten Negroes come and say, 'Here are our certificates, and we want to join your church?' There is no way to keep them out." Bishop Denny also argued against unity based upon Christ's words, There shall be one fold and one shepherd. Said he: "Certainly the one fold cannot be confined...
