Romantic Gesture. One of the "alien spouses" turned out to be a husband-a displaced Hungarian photographer named Gabor Rona who had married an ex-SPAR named Blossom Bernstein. Then there was Elisabeth Albinus, a pretty German girl whose ex-sergeant boy friend walked out on her two hours after she arrived at Idlewild Airport. Lissome Elisabeth got her picture in the tabloids, received at least one offer of adoption, 50, proposals and a free English course from the Linguaphone Institute of America...
...charge of black-market currency speculation would anger anyone living in black-market-ridden countries behind the Iron Curtain. Sabotage of Hungarian land reform? That should go down well with the British socialists, who approve of land reform. Conspiracy with the Habsburgs? That was a brilliant idea; it would arouse the antimonarchist elements in the U.S. Conspiracy with the U.S.? That was just as good; it would arouse anti-U.S. elements in Europe.

Hiring & firing had taken a whimsical turn: Playwright William Saroyan, hired as a drama reviewer, was fired before he got a single review into print. Ince had not collected for many ads, and distribution was a mess: Theatre Arts, seldom to be seen in the Times Square theater district, was going begging on newsstands in Chicago flophouse neighborhoods. Yet somehow, circulation...
