Lost Wail. Leros in ancient days was the place where the daughters of Oeneus, turned into guinea hens, wailed for their brother Meleager. Last week the wailing was loudest in London. There were un official suggestions that General Sir Henry Maitland Wilson of the Mid-East Command ought to be replaced. The General did his duty, gave an explanation which left the blame...
With flashbulbs exploding, Lady Louis Mountbatten and Ambassadors Winant and Biddle in a flag-draped box, and Noel Coward, Bea Lillie and mobs of servicemen packing the house, it was a gala opening. It was also a demonstrative one: time after time cascading applause stopped the show.

Neither had ever boxed before, and they hammered each other with haymakers for four rounds to a draw (necessitating a return match this week). But the loudest yells were for a heavyweight, Private Clarence Bressett of the notoriously vociferous cannon company, who, though ten pounds lighter than his opponent, knocked him clear across the ring with a right uppercut that sounded like the explosion of a 60-mm. mortar shell...
