...stage for a 90-minute CBS-TV show and, after a shaky start, proved that talent has no need of big production numbers. Coward, born with scarcely any singing voice, doesn't so much sing a song as suggest that he is singing one. His best: Loch Lomond and Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Mary Martin was brilliantly funny in a scene from Madame Butterfly, and happily belted out a long-but not long enough-succession of Anglo-American tunes...
...singers got off the Cunarder Saxoma at Greenock, Scotland, lined up on the pier on the River Clyde and began to sing (Loch Lomond). They kept singing all the way across Britain, Holland, Denmark and Germany-in crowded auditoriums, sight-seeing buses, third-class railway carriages and even on the streets. They had their share of crises, including-at Scheveningen, Holland-the loss of the conductor's white dress waistcoat (two local tailors provided a new one in exchange for a pair of tickets). Everywhere they are stirring up waves of good feeling and applause. Salt Lake City...

Last week in desperation, the Duke of Montrose took an ad in the paper, offered Buchanan, complete with its 40 bedrooms, 16 baths, 40 acres of woodlands, nine acres of gardens and incomparable view of Loch Lomond, for $28 a week to anyone who would keep the place in repair...
