...sure, the play hasn't a very giddy or glamorous look. It all takes place in the backyards of two much-curlycued 18901sh houses, and it tells of people who moved into them when they were built. There are four sisters of 65 and upwards, three of them with husbands of 67 or more, the fourth an old maid. Youth is represented by a mama's boy of 40 who has been keeping company for more than two lustrums with a fading moron of 39. To add to its handicaps, the play has scarcely a shred of plot...
Further, the four distinct plots of A Midsummer-Night's Dream, which clog it plenty as a play, virtually wreck it as a musical. Helena, Hermia & Co. prove just as ghastly bores running loose in the wooded outskirts of New Orleans as in the Athenian groves. Nor are some of the headliners all they might be. Louis Armstrong should stick to his blast, not try to play Bottom. The Maxine Sullivan who sings Moonland is not the irresistible Maxine Sullivan of Loch Lomond...

Since that time Dr. Carroll has used the drug with remarkable success on four other staphylococcic patients, including a baby. "No toxic symptoms or signs ascribable to this drug were seen," reported Dr. Carroll, "except for a slight nausea." About the future of the drug, which is not yet on the market, he hazarded no comment. Last week sulfamethylthiazol was tried on two Staphylococcus victims in a Midwest hospital, and on one in Manhattan, with hopeful results. But still restrained is the cautious enthusiasm of physicians, who cannot commit themselves on the drug until it has been tried on many...
...tellers came into the hall. The news was amazing; it was a hermaphrodite. The Progressives had won strategic posts for four of their seven candidates. Elected were: Dr. Ernst Philip Boas of Columbia, chairman of the Committee on Public Relations; Dr. Bernard Solomon Denzer of Mt. Sinai Hospital, chairman of the Committee on Medical Economics; Drs. Henry Barber Richardson of Cornell and Edward K. Barsky of Beth Israel Hospital, delegates in a group of 13 to the New York State Medical Convention...
