...outside withheld judgment on TBS's prospects until they could find out: 1) whether TBS could get wire lines; 2) whether the business it had lined up would warrant an annual outlay of $800,000 to $1,000,000 for lines; 3) whether it could keep enough important stations in line to survive. Lacking the straight dope on these points, they called it a "ghost-to-ghost" network...
Even single-minded Dr. Beaven unlimbers a little at the sight of suffering air-raid victims, stops his girl hunt long enough to patch them up. When Japanese undo his handiwork by bombing the hospital, a shrapnel splinter lodges in Dr. Beaven's scientific brain, stays there until Dr. Forster, rushing by plane, sampan and pony, arrives in time to remove it, in the most delicate operation of his life. Science, says he, can do no more, but science cannot bring Dr. Beaven out of his coma. When Audrey's timely arrival turns the trick, Dr. Forster piously...

Though Ober-laender lacks much that can be found in Daumier, this small sample of his work is convincing enough to make anyone who sees it want to see more. Humor in art presents difficulties which are not easy to surmount. A ludicrous subject, if not sufficiently restrained by means of proper emphasis upon style and technique will perhaps draw a short but hearty laugh from an onlooker. The same subject performed in a subtle fashion will cause a series of chuckles...
