...Carol is King!" Next morning planes wrote "Carol" in the sky as the Lowe chamber met, every deputy in a dress suit. In orthodox Catholic fashion they voted that Carol never renounced his rights, that Mihai has never been King, that since July 20, 1927 the King of Rumania has been "Carol II." This blanket annulment, wiping out the events of three years, was passed by 310 "Yesses" over the "No" of Liberal Leader Vintila Brati-anu while his 39 Liberal henchmen abstained.

...consistently acted. Once Actor Cohan comes down to the footlights and soliloquizes to the effect that everyone in the world is an actor, that he alone is a spectator, that some day he will meet the Great Author. Spectators take this to be in dead earnest, applaud loudly. Sole orthodox comic part is played by Joseph Allen in the role he created: the puzzled hired man who always manages to get on the scene just after some calamity has occurred, exclaiming, "What's all the shooting...
