Among those expected on Tuesday who were vacationing this summer or just out of service are Cleo O'Donnell, fleet scatback who was elected captain of the squad after the 1942 season, but joined the Marines before leading any Harlow squad in action: center Jack Fisher, guard Nick Rrodis, triple-threat back Ralph Petrillo, and several other Sept. 28 Connecticut...
...years ago took both the Pulitzer Prize and the Critics' Circle Award, made the reputations of Gene Kelly and William Bendix and the fortune of William Saroyan. With Julie Haydon the only holdover from the original cast, it's still a very good play. Characters like the Arab and Nick and McCarthy are indestructible, even on the borscht circuit.

Farmer Brocke believed that King Henry had married a witch, and one rainy day he grumbled to Mistress...
