...veteran of two wars (Spanish American and World War I), Hanley had been in New York State politics since 1926. Recently he had become worried about going blind (his right eye was removed in 1948), and concerned about his livelihood. This summer, he had borrowed a reported $30,000 from two prominent Republican friends, to make the race for governor. One was Publisher Frank Gannett. The other was former State G.O.P. Chairman W. Kingsland Macy, to whom he had written his letter...

...Gilbert and Sullivan performance can only be compared to another Gilbert and Sullivan performance, and, this three-week program is very likely the best that will be in Boston for a good while. The cast includes such veteran savoyards as Darrell Fancourt and Martyn Green, who have been with D'Oyly Carte for 30 to 28 years respectively. Fancourt, as the guffawing pirate king, is heartily delightful, and all that can be said in criticism of Green is that his part is not large enough. As Major-General Stanley, he gets several of the best songs in the play...
