...inflexibility of his acting, which might have detracted from another role, provided a strong contrast to Wayne Paton's brilliant performance as King Gama. Paton's portrayal of the irascible hunchback was worthy of Martyn Green, both for its cheerful leering and its precise enunciation. Nell Davenport was equally well cast as Lady Blanche; her voice, however, was not quite equal to the range of the score. Merle Moses, as Lady Psyche, effectively contrasts here susceptibility to Lady Blanche's austerity. Melissa, played by Sally Cameron, displayed a spirit and enthusiasm for her role which set the tone...
...diary, may be marked throughout her work. Such an intense fascination with oneself often descends in literature to a sort of raving sentimentality in which one's own life becomes the criterion to judge significance of material. Thus an ink stain on a grade school composition receives equal treatment with the publication of a first book, leaving both author and reader floundering in a great amount of weepy nonsense.

As a result of this thesis, the trial judge in Maryland and Indiana to this day must instruct the jurors in criminal cases that they are judges not only of the facts but of the law. An outgrowth of the equalitarian...
What are the arguments in favor of Fair Trade? The druggists' association maintains that it protects the consumer from "sucker prices" (loss-leaders) and the manufacturer from losing good will. The Fair Traders argue that the law gives the small businessman a chance to compete on equal terms with large distributors, who normally buy in quantity and can sell for less. (The druggists also contend that a 1951 Neilsen survey shows that drugstore prices are actually lower, on the whole, in Fair Trade states.) Says Sunbeam Corp., one of the biggest backers of minimum prices: "Without Fair Trade...
