...Fabulous Invalid (by Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman; produced by Sam H. Harris) is picture-postcard history of the U. S. theatre, as Noel Coward's Cavalcade was of modern Britain. For framework, Playwrights Kaufman & Hart have told the story of a particular Manhattan playhouse called the Alexandria Theatre, and for theme they have shown that the theatre, a fabulous invalid frequently on the point of dying, somehow never quite dies...
...situations are either so ridiculous or so close to the truth that they compel laughter. Enough in itself is the wild-eyed performance of John Barrymore as Gabby Harrigan, the governor with the Communist thatch, who makes political promises solely in order to brighten the voters' lives with anticipation.

His technique consists of cutting loose the upper left end of the bone, swinging it down into the desired position in the larynx, and planting it in the thyroid cartilage, firmest section of laryngeal framework.

As a living graft, with one end assured of normal circulation, the hyoid bone is far superior to any foreign graft clipped from the rib or ear. Only disadvantage, said ruddy...
...away is designed eventually to be "Unity City," a Jerusalem of Unity's anticipated Kingdom of God on earth. Unity has a predominantly feminine leadership; attracts few men to meetings; keeps no complete membership lists. It claims-although it negates many Christian teachings-that it works in the framework of the churches. It has also the framework of a publishing business-seven Unity magazines* have 2,000,000 paying subscribers. The department of absent treatment, called Society of Silent Unity, has a staff of over 60 constantly praying people, to whom believers may write, wire or telephone...
