...Shakespeare has had hard sledding on Broadway this season. As You Like It, Antony and Cleopatra, The Merry Wives of Windsor were flops, Coriolanus a middling success in its briefly scheduled Federal Theatre run. The Merry Wives, which was written to order in a fortnight because Queen Elizabeth wanted to see Falstaff in love, is creaking farce at best. Last week's production, out-Elizabethaning any college outdoor revels on record, was all hideous coyness, bumpkin antics, noddy-noddy-nubkins. A charging, bellowing Falstaff (Louis Lytton) carried on like a bull in ye olde antique shoppe, with the rest...

The Senate, while the crowd howled outside, voted credits for the entertainment of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on their State visit to France this coming June. As the dinner hour approached the mob scurried home. Inflammatory posters screeched from Paris hoardings meanwhile, appeals to the Socialists, the Communists and the Anarchists to "Rise against this handful of stony-hearted old men, ensconced in their Senatorial Bastille...
...Manhattan last fortnight, soft-voiced, grey-haired Elizabeth Seifert, winner of the $10,000 Dodd, Mead-Redbook Magazine novel contest, attended a big luncheon in her honor at which Hendrik Van Loon, Pearl Buck and other literary notables spoke, hurried back to her home town of Moberly, Mo. to start work on another novel. The wife of a refrigeration engineer (her real name is Mrs. John Gasparotti), Prize-winner Seifert won over 1,200 contestants with Young Doctor Galahad, a story of a small-town physician, planned to use her winnings to educate her four children. For herself she bought...
