Jack, who planted the beanstalk, was surprised when it sprouted high as Heaven. But he made a good thing of it, climbed up and worsted the Giant. Last week James Ramsay MacDonald, who planted his National Government in the doubtful soil of a General Election (TIME, Nov. 2, et ante), was simply astounded. "We appealed for a demonstration of national unity," he said. "The response has been far beyond the dreams of the most enthusiastic...

Love in a Greenwich Village flat becomes love in a penthouse, with the Empire State Building (minus the new red light) instead of the moon looking benevolently through the window. Mild satire on the writing business becomes broad burlesque of the giant "Proxy" cinemansion. A minor character in the original play becomes Frances Williams and runs away with the show. She cuts up with Jack Sheehan, does an imitation of Hope Williams (no relation or friend of Frances) and sings three good songs, one funny ("I Shot the Works"), one tuneful...
