...Roses finds Playwright William (Picnic) Inge once again in the Middle West of a generation ago, portraying troubled, torn, anonymous lives. This time, he considers the jangled relationship between a widow (Betty Field) and her 21-year-old son (Warren Beatty), and what happens when an out-of-work tent-show dancer who had once been their maid (Carol Haney) comes to stay with them. The mother-whom the son deeply resents because he is too deeply drawn to her-had been happily married and, because of the boy's attitude, has given up marrying again. Aware...
LABOR Struggle in Dixie Hymning the gospel of unionism with tent-revival fervor, 900 millworkers in Henderson, N.C. (pop. 14,500) last week observed the first anniversary of their strike against the Harriet-Henderson Cotton Mills with hand-clapping choruses of Onward, Christian Soldiers and Solidarity Forever.

But from the beginning of President Eisenhower's British stay, Hagerty had his troubles. He met the press (400 strong, including 50 Washington newsmen) in a stuffy white tent on Carlton House Terrace that was promptly dubbed the "Hagertorium." Earlier Hagerty had startled newsmen by referring to Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer as "Konnie." In the Hagertorium, he angered them by resolutely refusing searching questions ("If anyone thinks I'm going to answer that...
...character of Shakespearean tradition. Brought to the stage of Britain's Stratford Memorial Theater by Cinemactor Charles (Mutiny on the Bounty) Laughton last week, King Lear was an eye-rolling, tongue-lolling, hand-scrabbling, dirty old man. Above a billowing green gown that looked like a collapsed circus tent (but still could not hide the hefty Laughton paunch), the famed suet-pudding face was almost obscured by a wild halo of home-grown white whiskers and an unkempt shoulder-length mane of home-grown white hair. For the Bard's buffs, the sight and sound of Lear...
