"Would you close a couple of those second-floor windows to keep the noise in?" asked one of the cops. "Oh, dear," said Mrs. Lasker. "I'm sorry I didn't do it earlier, but it was getting terribly hot in there, you know, officer, with everyone frugging and everything...
...realization of an old man's dream. Papa de Pasquale, an im migrant violin teacher, had one ideal in life: to raise a professional string quartet.

René's reign was not seriously threatened until last October, when Mrs. Mary Kaltman, an old family friend and a veteran director of foods at such epicurean establishments as Harlingen Air Force Base and Austin's Driskill Hotel-whose manager describes...
...unconsciously hope the production would somehow turn into Cole Porter's Kiss Me Kate? (Come to think of it, Duffy's incidental music does quote a couple of Porter snatches.) William Pitkin merits praise for his ingenious traveling wagon, which sprouts into all sorts of structures including eventually a second-floor balcony...
