...recitations" of poetry. Through such simple gestures as twisting her fingers over her heart to show grief, stunning Audree Norton manages to evoke all the romantic passion contained in Elizabeth Barrett Browning's How Do I Love Thee? In a short Chinese poem, Bernard Bragg, who studied under Marcel Marceau, creates visual haiku with the line "a wave carries the moon away and the tidal water comes with its freight of stars," by forming a crescent with his upraised hand, then slowly lowering it over an undulating outstretched palm. The signing of Joe Velez makes more hilarious sense...
...that it has. At Newport last week, there were no fewer than three potential challengers waiting at the dock: another Aussie syndicate, a British group, and a French outfit led by Baron Marcel Bich, a millionaire ballpoint-pen manufacturer.

Johnny Carson prizes L. & H. for "their rapport, their genuine liking for each other." Mime Marcel Marceau calls Laurel the "maitre of all mimes in the world"; Author J. D. Salinger, who runs off old two-reelers for his children, refers to the pair as "two heaven-sent artists...
...Loeb's Crime and Punishment is a collection of scenes and not a play. Director Joseph Everingham has worked with Marcel Dubois' adaptation of Dostoevsyk's novel (a fact which the Loeb program is peculiarly reticent to acknowledge. One hopes they've paid some royalties). Scenes and characters are plucked out of the novel, told somewhat arbitrarily to line up acts, and sent out to do their paces...
