...Producer McClintic goes the palm for 1936 Shakespearean innovation. He has represented the King's ghost as a spooky silent presence whose voice croaks hollowly from an off-stage microphone. As the Queen, pneumatic Judith Anderson makes good theatrical sense. As wan and woebegone Ophelia, Lillian Gish is Lillian Gish. Jo Mielziner's articulated Hamlet set caused the form-book perusers to recall a similarly successful one by Norman Bel Geddes for Raymond Massey...
Cartright did not return to Carnegie Tech. By the process of painfully rehabilitating himself to a silent world he could never again see, he traveled through Europe and the Orient. Today he appears before the microphones of radio stations KFAB and KOIL, Omaha, Neb., twice daily to interpret international affairs, though he cannot see to read or hear his voice.

Huge along the Merrimack River banks at Manchester, N. H., the biggest cotton textile mill in the U. S., silent since last September, was ordered liquidated in July (TIME, Aug. 3).

Open to his almost daily diatribes against his absent employes were the columns of the leading afternoon paper, which had fought him tooth & nail since he invaded Seattle in 1921. Clarance Brettun Blethen's Times not only printed Mr. Hearst's pronouncements, but independently condemned the strikers and their tactics. These, it seemed to rich, reactionary Mr. Blethen, were outrageously irregular. The Hearst pressmen were remaining away from...
