...thousand Indians soon began work on the 3,000-acre Congress City site, many of them volunteers toiling for love of Saint Gandhi & Mother India. Last November the timetable of the builders was badly upset when the Tapti River unseasonably rose in flood, and failed for six long weeks to subside.

Once Is Enough (by Frederick Lonsdale; produced by Gilbert Miller). Ten minutes after the curtain rose last week on Once Is Enough, nobody in the audience could have sworn that it was not 1928. For a Frederick Lonsdale comedy, full of fishwife manners but ducal breeding, was unhurriedly finding its stride.
