...pipe organ seemed to have played itself to a standstill when, about two years ago, it was suddenly discovered by high-fidelity fans and came back with a roar. With high fidelity's new recording techniques, hazy diapasons became vivid, and when the hi-fi crowd learned that the organ could play both lower and higher than any other instrument, it became their all-out favorite. The boom began with sub-middlebrow theater-organ concoctions, e.g., a series of LPs by Organist Reginald Foort, on the Cook label, continued with a series by George Wright, put out by newly...
With its striding rages and vivid madness, Welles's Lear scarcely buttressed the widespread belief that the part is unactable; even with an injured ankle, Welles was never a mere "old gentleman tottering about with a walking stick." But both as actor and director, Welles slighted Lear's character and Lear's significance, did far too little with Shakespeare's poetry. Any number of moments lacked their sovereign power to move-and not least from scanting Shakespeare's sovereign powers of language...
...copyreader on the Fair-Dealing New York Post. Glaser said that he was a Communist when he worked on a copy desk of the Times, which he quit in 1934 to become managing editor of the Daily Worker at a 35% cut in salary.

...movie is vivid enough when it deals with the large, abstract issues of the case--the corruption of justice, anti-Semitism, and the moral vacuum of French society at the turn of the century. But when it tries to depict the people involved, the result is often ludicrous. At times, as when Dreyfus lumbers across the parade ground where he has just been stripped of his rank and yells "I'm innocent," at the top of his lungs, the picture seems almost embarassing. The fault here is that of Fritz Kortner, who plays Dreyfus. His acting style is so restrained...
...what appeared to be a violent protest against existing weather conditions, the elves and gnomes which frequent all gases, particularly neon, have incapacitated the "S" in SHELL (right), giving the motorists on Memorial Drive at Magazine Beach a vivid reminder that the day of judgment is not far off. Repairmen have been alerted and are expected to appear on the scene tomorrow to disenchant the "S". If the weather or the magic spell is too potent, the sign may remain in its unholy predicament, and, as the station's proprietor observed, "The (S) hell Oil people will be mighty...
