Under Theatre I find your reviews of the new plays in Manhattan very interesting, but we in the hinterlands cannot learn from TIME whether a play runs for three performances or for 300.

Perhaps the Miscellany column is a fill-in job, shelved during a rush week, and then again, perhaps it is quite a task to find suitable material. Therefore, while kicking I kick in what seems to me to be a kosher item for Miscellany's editor ... and suggest that if he will peruse such weeklies as The Moore County News he will often encounter other unique bits that he will find helpful in reporting All Things...
