...Robust young King Farouk was getting accustomed last week to disasters in his Government. Last time His Majesty opened Parliament he had just cocked an ear to Premier Hassan Sabry Pasha, who was reading the Speech from the Throne, when the Premier dropped dead (TIME, Nov. 25). Last week King Farouk commanded Minister of War Saleh Younes Pasha to attend his royal person during ceremonies inaugurating a new water system at Fayyúm. With a brisk step the Minister entered the King's train at Cairo. Just as it was about to pull out he collapsed. Jabbering with...
Last week, to celebrate his program's completion, tan, robust "Tut" Tuttle invited some 500 newsmen, steel technicians and customers to look over his expanded Baltimore plant. They jostled each other in the long, low, light green business offices, ate liberally of a free buffet lunch, marveled at the progress that had been made. A promoter's scheme in 1929, near bankrupt in 1933, Rustless is now one of the Big Three stainless steel makers (other two: Allegheny Ludlum, Republic). Capacity has been upped from 20,000 tons (1934) to 75,000 tons, nearly one-half the entire...

Upshot: the American Lutherans expressed a fervent hope that they and the United Lutherans might both soon be united with the Missouri Synod. They appointed a new commission to continue negotiations...
Besides the jokes, Miss Hughes' only other criticism falls on Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Ague cheek who hardly exploited "the robust comedy elements of the play" I take it that Miss Hughes feels badly that the lines did not crackle like those, say, out of "Panama Hattie." I don't think Shakespeare meant them to. Toby's humor is more mellow than witty. It belongs, just as he does, to old and merry England...
...would hardly rate in the poorest radio laugh-show. It belongs to a comic old knight, still able to raise cain, but really as antiquated and useless as the England which is giving way to new commerce and "new men" like the ambitious Malvolio. And rather than the "robust comedy" which Miss Hughes wants, the mellowness and restraint of Norman Lloyd and Mark Smith seemed to me a perfect interpretation...
