...Died. Lorenz Hart, 48, lyric half of Rodgers & Hart, habitual hit-tunesmiths; in Manhattan. To Richard Rodgers' swingful songs pint-sized, cigar-mangling Hart had joined his agile verses more than 1,000 times, enlivened more than 25 Broadway shows, including Pol Joey, On Your Toes, The Boys from Syracuse, A Connecticut Yankee...
...Connecticut Yankee (book by Herbert Fields; music & lyrics by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart; produced by Mr. Rodgers) is not a straight revival. Suspecting that nobody would walk a mile for a Camelot he saw 16 years ago, Messrs. Fields, Rodgers & Hart have redecorated King Arthur's court - waxed the Round Table, polished the armor, restrung the harps, put a Navy uniform on the startled and startling visitor.

Adding extra spin to the dancing is pert Vera-Ellen, the cutest musicomedy trick of the season. Surviving from the original score, and still giving satisfaction, are My Heart Stood Still, Thou Swell, On a Desert Island, I Feel At Home With You. Show-stopping new song, thanks to Lorenz Hart's funny lyrics and Vivienne Segal's brilliant delivery, is To Keep My Love Alive, a saga of a lady who industriously murdered her mates seriatim...
Feeding them the hormone did not work (they eliminated it too fast). So Lorenz injected pellets of the substance under their skin, let them absorb it slowly. The results were startling. In two to six weeks the roosters' red combs paled and shrank; they grew female feathers and a layer of fat; their pubic bones spread; they lolled around like capons. After roasting, they tasted much better than ordinary cockerels. When Lorenz treated stringy, dark-fleshed old roosters, their meat also became light and tender. Lorenz has tried his discovery only on chickens and turkeys, but biochemists...
Offering his discovery to U.S. poultry-men, Lorenz had a word of warning: if the consumer should swallow an unconsumed hormone pellet with his chicken, it might make him sick. To avoid this, he suggested that the pellets be implanted in a part not usually eaten, i.e., the neck...
