...accusation that Marxist theoreticians are as dour as they are unintelligible, the favorite Red comeback is the case of John Strachey. Cousin of the late Lytton Strachey, heir to an English baronetcy, former M.P. who in 1931 quit the Mac-Donald coalition government to join the Reds, John Strachey is a softly athletic six-footer who lectures in tails. Smoothtongued, witty, he has made himself a favorite with middle-class lecture audiences, while his Coming Struggle for Power (1933), the first and only "Party line" bestseller, made him a reputation as the nearest thing to a popularizer of the nearly...
...which was written to order in a fortnight because Queen Elizabeth wanted to see Falstaff in love, is creaking farce at best. Last week's production, out-Elizabethaning any college outdoor revels on record, was all hideous coyness, bumpkin antics, noddy-noddy-nubkins. A charging, bellowing Falstaff (Louis Lytton) carried on like a bull in ye olde antique shoppe, with the rest of the cast trying, all giggledy-piggledy, to be lewd, quaint, rollicking by turns...

Told to avoid well-photographed University of Iowa, Photographer Naegle journeyed to Drake, interviewed the University's business manager, Ed Lytton. Business Manager Lytton recommended Heloise. She immediately accepted. The pictures were taken in a bed, a shower of the Delta Gamma House, on the campus, in a classroom. As a final shot, Friend Bergmann was without difficulty persuaded to pose with Heloise in his arms...
...Heloise convinced Dean Cubbage (but nobody else) that she had not posed nude in the shower, as the picture indicated, but in a "flesh leotard, which is similar to a bathing suit. And besides I understood the picture would show only from the shoulders up." Business Man ager Lytton sputtered that he had labored under the same misunderstanding. Snapped the Dean : "Drake does not intend to take any action." At week's end the New York World-Telegram, was able to make it known, in a fitting cinematic denouement to Heloise's adventures, that "it is only...
