...veteran of inspection tours, reviewed troupe from the cancan line of Paris' Moulin Rouge backstage after the annual Royal Variety Performance at London's Theater Royal, Drury Lane. One of the sketches must have sounded like dinner-table talk to Her Majesty. The skit featured Actor Mike Yarwood and Actress Suzanne Danielle as Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales, fretting over the arrival of their future heir. While Danielle knitted, Yarwood brooded over a list of possible princely names, then said wistfully: "I want my children to have the little things that I never had-like India...
...broadcast clearly captured at least something of the flavor of the House, and not everyone found it palatable. "We'd never stand for this sort of audience in our business," said Comedian Mike Yarwood, one of whose specialties is impersonating Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Scriptwriter Johnny Speight, who created the British model for America's Archie Bunker, thought that the broadcast from the Commons "has the making of a good comedy series." Some disagreed. A BBC spokesman admitted that several peeved listeners had called in to ask what had happened to Listen with Mother, the regular program that...

Sick plants are like sick children. They get hot and feverish when they don't feel well. Last week the University of California's Professor C. E. Yarwood told how he put leaves of healthy plants in a well-insulated container and measured their temperature after four hours. He found that the respiration of the leaves (their "breathing" of oygen) had raised their temperature at most 2.7° F. above the outside air. Then he put sick leaves, infected with virus or fungus diseases, in the chamber. In four hours they were running temperatures...
College Humor (Paramount) is a frantic little absurdity about an institution called Midwest (football rival: Yarwood) where Jack Oakie is the dormitory dunce, Lona Andre the campus belle, Richard Aden a neurotic footballer, and Bing Crosby the professor of music. With that inappropriate calm which is his chief distinction, Crosby yodels songs called "Learn to Croon," "Play Ball," "Moon-struck," ''The Old Ox Road." Paramount, more versatile than its competitors, has two types of musical pictures. Those in which Maurice Chevalier is directed by Ernst Lubitsch are for metropolitan consumption. The others, of which this is a fair...
