Benjamin should have a relatively easy time in the two-mile, but the important thing here may be what teammate Jed Fitzgerald can do. Only the 880 looks totally bleak for the varsity, as the Bulldog trio of Carroll, Ed Slowik, and Ned Roache seem unbeatable...
...most startling comeback of many a show business season is being staged by a trio of Brillo-headed knockabouts called The Three Stooges. Historically, they belong to the era when the Marx Brothers crammed more humanity into a ship's stateroom than a dormitoryful of college students assaulting a telephone booth. Clutching the slapstick just as hard, over the course of 24 years the Stooges cranked out 194 pie-faced comedies for Columbia Pictures, most of them two-reelers designed to run as curtain raisers before the main feature...
Eventually, the change in comedy styles brought the curtain raiser down. Columbia refused to renew when The Three Stooges' contract ended on Jan. 1, 1958, has since sold its pre-1948 backlog of their films to television.

Too static for the stage, it is studded with passages of surpassing orchestral and vocal beauty: the sweetly melancholy string sextet that serves as an overture; the delicately interlaced trio in which Musician, Poet and Countess comment on the Poet's sonnet; the Countess' hushed mirror monologue at the close, with its spun-silver vocal tracery. The performers-notably sopranos Elizabeth Schwarzkopf and Anna Moffo, baritones Hans Hotter and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau-sing superbly under Conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch...
