Theatre of the Piccoli (produced by Cheryl Crawford) is-mechanically speaking-the world's greatest marionette show. Last seen on Broadway in 1934, Vittorio Podrecca's marionettes returned last week to demonstrate once more an art whose masters require 20 years of apprenticeship. No suitcase theatre, but a vast marionet-work involving three miles of string, over 800 wooden performers and 20-odd flesh-&-blood puppeteers, the Piccoli offers a bill as long and elaborate as a Broadway revue...

At the head of the stairs, the Queen and Royal Princesses knelt, kissed the ring. Moving in meticulously arranged procession through...
...before, but Prince Konoye is a good bet to pick up where the aimless Abe Government leaves off. Premier from 1937 to 1939, he is now the most popular statesman in Japan and probably the only Japanese with enough astuteness and courage to play Mussolini to Hirohito's Vittorio Emanuele. It was he who invented the famous, mystical but so far meaningless slogan: New Order in East Asia. He may find accomplishing it not only New but Large...
