After listening to the Glee Club sing several Mozart songs and the Radcliffe Choral Society present some Shubert waltzes, they marched onto the platform, one of their number (whose only tell-tale mark seem to be a well developed mid-riff) stepped out in front an proceeded very capably to direct the group in two Mozart selections and a French carol.

Between the Devil (by Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz; produced by Messrs. Shubert). When Between the Devil was floundering through New Haven and Philadelphia tryouts last October, its plot concerned an exuberant Englishman (Jack Buchanan.) who married two girls at once simply because he loved them both. After two months of meditation the producers decided that such wantonness would never go down, so Jack Buchanan was allowed wife No. 2 only because he thought No. 1 was lost in a shipwreck.

The bare bottoms were moulded of impersonal papier-mache, but the silver-bearded Jovian head on the left was unmistakably that of Alfred Lunt. Theatre Guild subscribers, present for the Manhattan opening of Amphitryon 38, settled back expectantly in their seats. They realized that Jupiter Lunt's eyes were not feasting...
After a smorgasbord luncheon at the Viking Club, members of the cast of "Victoria Regina", now playing at the Shubert, and the Harvard Dramatic Club yesterday drove to the grounds of the Metropolitan Cricket Club at Newton Centre for a much anticipated cricket match; a match narrowly but fairly won by the Harvard undergraduates...
