The scenery and costumes, mostly black, white and silvery grey, were by plausible Artist Paul Tchelit-cheff, whose white balustrade, in receding fool-the-eye perspective, gave the ballet its name...
When Franklin Roosevelt last week told reporters that he would speed aid to Britain by eliminating the silly-fool dollar sign from the transaction, he stamped 1940 as a year in which a U. S.
