...last week a 28-year-old Shakta named Odia Patel, clad only in a loincloth, walked into a magistrate's office in Bali, a district of Rajasthan in Northwest-Central India. In his hand he held a severed human nose and a bloodstained knife. Said he: "This is my wife's nose. I cut it off because she was unfaithful to me. And this is the knife I used...
...near-perfect, the men do not suffer from comparison. As Jonathan Peachum, Fred Kimball can carry along the Brecht text in those rare moments when it wants in wit. Plagued by throat trouble, Kimball's singing was only the more authentic for the part. Dean Gitter, as Mack the Knife, was amusing and sleazy on cue, and when called upon near the end to carry the whole production through several numbers, rose to the occasion with no strain.

...with the dish that has been laid before him-and it isn't sukiyaki. Enter a messenger: a pretender to the throne has appeared. Is he or is he not the emperor's true son and heir?

No. 7 stopped most viewers in their tracks. It was a startling blank canvas, washed in with cloudy browns. But Taoist Lecturer Dr. C. Y. Chang, on hand for the opening, recognized it immediately...
...sneer gives a suggestion of Eastern inscrutability. Captain Carruthers, played by Roger Livesey, foils his plans with the legendary stolid determination of the British colonial officers. Livesey's characterization is so stereotyped that, at times, it almost sinks to burlesque. Somebody, however, usually shows up in time with a knife or a machine gun to keep the plot happily rolling and to leave any thoughts of character study forgotten...
