...Editors of the CRIMSONS: A short time ago a great many Harvard students and professors attended the second Theodore Spencer Memorial Lecture given by the Broadway and Hollywood director Elia Kazan. From the title of the lecture ("Show Business and the Realities") and from Prof. Levin's introductory remarks ("bridge the gap between drama on the page and drama on the stage"), they must have expected a firsthand account of the problems of directing and staging some of the best movies and plays of recent years. Instead they were treated to a public shrift and absolution. Interspiced with a running...

For 1950, its sales totaled $5,000,000 (up 92% from 1949), net prof its $308,000 (up 123%).

The first Canadian TV station goes...
