...married Alice Gertrudis King, whose father, Captain Richard King, began in the 1850s to assemble what became not only the biggest ranch in the U. S. but one of the world's most impressive landholdings.

Biggest Shakespeare news this season may well be a Hamlet swollen to twice its usual bulk. Last week Actor-Manager Maurice Evans (Richard II) rang up the curtain at 6:30 p.m. on "the first uncut Hamlet in New York" before a half-fashionable, half-earnest first-night audience who sat back grimly in their seats and waited to see if they could take it. When, after allowing a half-hour intermission for dinner...
