...title of Kaufman & Hart's The Fabulous Invalid refers to the theatre, always said to be dying, never quite dead. But so many people have avoided the show, thinking it a "morbid" play laid in a sickroom, that it is now conspicuously subtitled "A Cavalcade of the Theatre...
...Boys from Syracuse" is a gay and tuneful production, and though the plot, as in Plautus' time, is somewhat innocuous, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart have poured so much of the soul of modern melody into the show that their position as the foremost song writing team of musical comedy cannot be questioned; "Falling in Love," "Shortest Day in the Year," and especially "This Can't Be Love" are three of the best tunes to have appeared in many months, and the cast renders them to perfection...

There mounted patrolmen travel over 276,000 acres of sagebrush inspecting the range, watch out for predatory animals and poachers...
