...ingratiatingly light-fingered jack-of-no-trades, is a wonderful creation without a counterpart elsewhere in literature. And Hyman, in and out of disguise as well as in and out of other people's pockets, makes the most of him, with his funny figure-4 stances, his weatherbeaten hat and purple beard, and his tooth-picking and fingernail-cleaning. The bit in which he joins with Barbara Barrie and June Ericson to sing a three-voice ballad is supremely hilarious...
Before last week's opening service began, the invited dignitaries from other churches entered the cathedral in solemn procession-among them Alexandrian Archimandrite Parthenios Coinidis, Armenian Bishop Bessak Toumayan in his tall black hat, white-hatted Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Pitirim of Minsk (Cyprus' Archbishop Makarios had been invited by Dr. Fisher, but to everyone's relief failed to turn up).

Said he: "All I can say for publication is that I found it lying on a table in the meeting room...
...More Stovepipe. In 1937 he became patriarch of the 120,000 Armenian Roman Catholics scattered throughout the Middle East. As patriarch he took the name Gregory Peter XV. Nine years later Pope Pius XII gave him a red hat, and as cardinal he continued administering the affairs of the Armenians, shuttling between Rome and his residence in Beirut...
