...captured in the current Cambridge Drama Festival production, directed by Jose Quintero. This is young Mr. Quintero's first Shakespearean assignment, although he has wrought several nearmiracles with modern American works.

With a harrumph that "it's a good thing for recruiting-it's not really the money we're after," Britain's army and air force warmed up. The first man, Army Captain R. M.

He is about to lose his sweaty hold on a two-bit Miami Beach hotel, but Big Shot Frankie. looking to turn a fast buck, spends his time trying to promote grandiose business ideas, romancing a far-out bongo-banging broad who lives at the top of the stairs, and treating his eleven-year-old son like a grownup. Faced with eviction, Frankie calls on his apoplectic brother (Edward G. Robinson), a rich...
...performance. American's nine-month earnings for fiscal 1959 ($8.36 a share) are running three times ahead of last year, came within only a few thousand dollars of the $50 million profit forecast for the whole year. In South Bend, Studebaker-Packard President Harold E. Churchill gave his fast-selling Lark full credit for the company's earnings of $1.87 a share for the half year, v. last year's loss...
