...Hello, Ma'am," said McKeon stiffly. "Your son was one of the finest boys in my platoon, and I am terribly sorry this all happened." Replied Mrs. Meek: "The Lord says don't hate nobody. If you're guilty, you will be punished." Replied McKeon: "If I'm guilty, I would rather be punished here than in the hereafter." Tears came to his eyes. Then he braced himself, disciplined his emotion, set his face sternly. He returned to the auditorium and to the scene of his trial...
Hero Glenn Ford is discovered in the guise of a meek and peace-loving storekeeper. Everybody in Cross Creek knows he hasn't packed a gun or tipped a glass in four years. But Glenn breaks out in a sweat whenever anybody mentions the shooting over at Silver Rapids. What's worse, he doesn't even pitch horseshoes with the old gang any more. Finally he bolts from the store, jounces into the saloon and announces, "I would like to go out of my mind." With the help of a bottle of raw hooch, he darn near...

At times the latter was slightly unconvincing, but his singing and a fine first act dance made up for any acting deficiency. Miss Petersen never could make up her mind what man she should marry and Loomis was mad as a hatter. Victor Altschul, Chester Hartman, and Alison Keith all added convincing Gilbert and Sullivan acting techniques to the production. Musical arrangements by pianist Richard Friedberg...
...Beclouded. Then, with an august frown, the Senate turned to deal with Francis Case, who by devious but predictable senatorial reasoning was thought to have beclouded the honor of the entire body. Georgia's Senator Walter George was named to head the special committee investigating the Case contribution. Meek Francis Case (he was so overwhelmed by his notoriety that at one time newsmen found him hiding, face half-shielded, in a telephone booth) was the first witness...
