...providing it in immense amounts. But CRIMSON reviewers must also realize that the process of making a play "come alive," as Mr. Gordon says Sophocles' works "honorably" do, is absolutely dependent upon a certain amount of hocus-pocus. Sets are gimmicks; so are theatrical lights; so are costumes and made-up faces. And they have a certain amount of validity: they began to be used even before theatre moved out of the cathedral. The problem is not whether or not gimmicks should be employed in the theatre, but where, how much, and what kind they should...
...asked to leave the U.S. after FBI agents showed her dossier to other interested authorities. She was Ellen Rometsch, 27, a sometime fashion model and wife of a West German army sergeant who was assigned to his country's military mission in Washington.

The thin story and the perceptive camera's eye rarely support each other. For the plot gives the divorcee...
...causes. Although the Examiner was one of the shinier links in the dwindling Hearst newspaper chain, it fought a losing battle for survival against the Times. Founded in 1903. when the late William Randolph Hearst still had millions to squander, the Examiner was a well-written, well-edited, brightly made-up paper. Its political reporting was probably the most balanced in California. During the 1940s, the Examiner was ahead of the Times in daily circulation.
