...play. Playwright Hugh Stange (Veneer, Fog-Bound) apparently has a talent for the sort of literary clairvoyance which goes well in novels, but he lacks the ability to condense, solidify and invigorate his material for dramatic presentation.

The German orchestra with which Toscanini worked, whose language he did not know, grumbled at first over the almost superhuman demands he made upon them. Later they cheered him. Conductor Muck was mentioned for the vacant...
...current report of the Field Museum, Chicago, Karl P. Schmidt, assistant curator of reptiles, announced that he had received a rare Texas plated lizard, which he had long wanted. Found in a crate of lettuce by a grocer of Deerfield, Ill., it had come as a stowaway from southern Texas...
