Untoward indeed would be the incidents resulting from the Coop's becoming a cut-rate liquor store. The dangers inherent in making large quantities of intoxicating beverages available to the masses is quite as obvious as the inadvisability of serving firewater to Indians. Uncouth and boorish fellows are partially restrained by the high prices set by the international liquor cartel and the tax policy of the Federal government. Anything done to disturb this delicate balance would unleash nightmares of drunkeness and debauchery such as are seldom seen, even in Cambridge...

Actually, The Girls in 509 has just enough winning gags and gadgets for a topnotch revue skit. In its present form, Playwright Teichmann, having come up with a bright idea, clung...
