...Philadelphia last week several hundred clergymen were invited to the Planetarium donated by Soapman Samuel Simeon Fels to the Franklin Institute. They beheld ''The Easter Story," projected not only with lights showing how the moon and sun determine the falling of Easter Sunday (this year: March 28) but also-to the accompaniment of phonograph records and scripture readings-with flood and spotlights which were supposed to suggest crosses and angels...

But that virtuoso of unnatural virtue has been effectively laid low, and today we hear about Tobias (Smelfungus) Smollett, the good-natured ship's surgeon who was exhilaratingly picaresque both...
