...Time of Your Life (by William Saroyan; produced by the Theatre Guild Inc. in association with Eddie Dowling).

...Maginot Line. Last month Wingen was evacuated. From Paris hurried short, scholarly, white-mustached René Lalique, now 79 and ailing, to salvage his irreplaceable molds. He found his factory's fires out, soldiers at its gate. "No one goes in here," they told him. Sick at heart, Glassmaker Lalique went back to Paris.
