...plot that would cry out for clearing up if the play were to assume the standing of a murder mystery. Inasmuch as it bases all its claims on its excellent comedy of character and circumstance, however, the discrepancies in the story may be ignored. But one confusing element would seem regrettable: first the little teller promises his wife that someday he will be rich and famous; then his sensational adventure comes about apparently as an accident. The result is that the slightly bewildered spectator doesn't know whether to regard him as the epitome of respectability that he has always...
...prospects may have definitely faded by the summer. Even so, the disappearance of Franco's hopes of victory would not necessarily mean the restoration of the Government's supremacy throughout Spain. Thus, if the Government can maintain its own food supplies, the most probable outcome would seem to be that the war may peter out with Spain divided into two parts more or less along the present battle line.

Rather he played the clown most the time and purposely left the net undefended on many occasion to engage in mad scrambles several feet out. At one time he carried the puck to center ice before losing it. At the time someone mentioned that Tiny was once the fastest member of the Bruins on skates. He did pretty well today even...
