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.

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.

...liquefaction and intelligently directed asides of the Foreign Office spokesman, his authority, his singlemindedness, his bristling, barbed personality still dominate." 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."

...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.
