Chicago's Loop was clogged with honking automobiles and pushing shoppers; the Indianapolis street railway had to put every last car in service to handle the great crowds, and Seattle had one of the biggest downtown traffic jams in history...
When she got a list of the artists who were to appear, Mrs. McCullough was a little put out. The second concert featured Larry Adler, the mouth organist, and Paul Draper, the lissome dancer, and she had read enough about them to conclude that both had been busy supporters of various Communist fronts.

Mrs. Howe has been with the group for some time but she continues to show an appalling indifference to some of the mere fundamentals of staging. The greatest fault with the present production is that it is played throughout on too shrill a key. Miss...
