Give Us This Day (by Howard Koch; Francis I. Curtis & Richard Myers, producers) is a rather forlorn case of author's indigestion. The good idea which Author Koch has bitten off and cannot chew is that of a family waiting for an old lady to die and leave them her $200,000. They wait 15 years while the old ogress, who never appears on the stage, clings to life in her room upstairs, taps signals on a steam pipe to summon the heirs & heiresses for obsequious ministrations, keeps them on tenterhooks by changing her will every so often...
...eldest of Russia's famed "Marrying Mdivanis"; by Mae Murray, onetime cinemactress; in Los Angeles. Grounds: extreme cruelty, unreasonable jealousy, hos tility toward her guests. Awarded. To Poet Stephen Vincent Benet (John Brown's Body) : the Roosevelt Medal "for distinguished service." To the late John Ripley Freeman (died Oct. 6) : the John Fritz Medal (No. 1 U.

Mortality from appendicitis is 50% higher today than it was 15 years ago, deplored Professor Alton Ochsner of New Orleans. One person dies in the U. S. every 29 minutes from appendicitis. Before the age of 50 four times as many people die from appendicitis as die from cancer. Ages 10 to 30 are the appendicitis years, 70% of cases occurring in that range. Added Dr. John T.

...years, and I thought he was the greatest thing I ever saw when I first laid eyes on him. He has always been great to me. The NRA has made a new person of me. I thought I was an old grandmother, lying on the bed waiting to die. . . . An other thing I want to tell you mothers: if you are not public speakers you'd better start taking lessons now. for you never know what some of these sons and daughters will do to make you famous." In behalf of one Ben M. Jones, film projectionist who fled...
