...cartridge, also picked up a second recruit-Albert Strolis, 15, who agreed to join in the plot because he felt sorry for Marty. The plot was simple: the trio would drive to St. Peter's church cemetery, just opposite the Daniels apartment, and hide behind the wall; when Daniels Sr. turned up, Marty would shoot him dead...
...plan worked-except for one hitch. The three boys went down to the graveyard wall, loaded the rifle, sat down and waited for Daniels Sr. They waited for two hours. But when he finally lurched down the street, mounted the steps of his house and sat down, another one of his sons was sitting there. Marty Daniels, afraid he might hit his brother, passed the rifle to Marksman Ray. "Here," he said, "you do the shooting. You're a better shot than I am." Marty's dad was sitting with his knees up to his chest...
...grouped portrait figures (at the table before John Hancock stand John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert R. Livingston, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin). Though the subject lacked action.

But what impact...
...regret, however, that Houseman succumbed to the temptation of "improving" the play by cutting, although there are fewer cuts than one normally finds. A museum director does not crop a Rembrandt painting to fit the space on the wall; nor do music publishers and performers "correct" Beethoven's and Chopin's "mistakes" as they used to. We should be allowed to judge a play just as the author left it, without the benefit of the director's superior insight as to how it ought to have been written. And, of all Shakespeare's plays, Othello is the one that most...
