...came Karandash, Russia's greatest clown, lost in a flapping green suit, grotesque beneath a scarlet wig, riding a donkey fitted with handle bars. He tumbled off, pulled out a hammer and a plate and began a flurry of legerdemain that ended in a sidesplitting snarl of chaos and shattered crockery. In blue tights flashing with gold, the three blonde Balakin sisters spun aluminum hoops in a shimmering blur. To the frantic rhythms of Khachaturian's Saber Dance, the three Gratchevs flung whole tribes of Indian clubs at one another while wobbling on a rope strung between...
...male. Doubtless, temperamental Actress Campbell could be impossible, but tough Playwright Shaw could at times seem inhuman. These were love letters without a love affair; as Stella Campbell said, she and G.B.S. were two "lustless lions at play." And for every coo there was a not-always-brilliant snarl. When she first read Pygmalion, she sniffed: "You made Liza a cockney just to torment me," and he snapped back: "I'm surprised you find it so difficult to be common."

Shocked & Gratified. Actually, Phillips' case looked so good that a settlement has been in the works since 1955, only to be blocked by one legal snarl after another.

Dashing for a cab. the royal couple were quickly embroiled in a horrendous Piccadilly Circus traffic snarl, including fire engines, but they got to the Globe only 15 minutes late. The King smiled fleetingly when the Queen said that the Haymarket had been her error. The Haymarket, which had so briefly and unknowingly enjoyed the pleasure of His Majesty's company, was playing Samuel Taylor...
Life with father was sometimes all beer and no victuals. The meticulous Stanislaus once calculated that John Joyce was roaring drunk 3.97 days a week. At such times, Papa would reel home in a vicious temper, flail away at any child within reach, and snarl, "I'll leave you all where Jesus left the Jews." An ardent Parnellite, the elder Joyce undoubtedly inspired the nine-year-old James to his first known literary effort, a poem to the fallen leader, in which Parnell was likened to an eagle, looking down from...
