...takes time -- the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London uses up about a year in training actors for this kind of comedy -- and Chapman has had to make his actors feel at home in fops' clothing in about a month. He has paced the play at a good trot, and when he invents business, his touch is sure. He has given the play an authentic tone, and refused to pull in silly anachronisms to get laughs...
...Wild Angels. Across the flats of southern California hustles a big mean hog. Ape bars, twin exhausts, chrome on everything except the rubber, this Harley is doing a ton and still hot to trot.

"Why," gasped one sideliner when Lady Bird started to swing, "she's doing the whole screaming...
...question of Little Eva's follow-up to "Locomotion" has caused a considerable controversy among local music scholars. Before her much deserved plunge into oblivion, Little Eva recorded three mediocre songs around the same time. They were "Old Smokey Locomotion," "Turkey Trot," and "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby." Clair Burrill '66, lead singer of Oedipus and His Mothers, has provided fairly convincing proof for the latter, but we gave credit for any of the three answers...
