...choosing the first show, the powers-that-be naturally wanted a festive work of acknowledged merit. They settled on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and engaged Herbert Berghof as director. The work is too well known to warrant much comment. It is, of course, the last and subtlest of the Bard's true comedies--a study of (1) unrequited lovers (in which, by rare exception, young love is not opposed by an elder generation), and of (2) poseurs. Every member of the personae is a persona in the old Latin sense of a mask-wearer; and the play...

"One invasion of privacy by an official of Government can be as oppressive as another. Health inspections are important. But they are hardly more important than the search for narcotics peddlers, rapists, kidnapers, murderers and other criminal elements"-all covered, except in emergency cases, by search-warrant procedure...
