Playwright Rice cannily offers the audience more than just Boy Meets Girl; his real hero is Manhattan Island. With dozens of minor characters, scenes in subways, taxis, rubberneck wagons, a producer's office, an artist's studio, an all-night Coffee Pot, the Metropolitan Museum, the play brightly wanders all around the town-without ever really getting inside it. Its people-the opportunist and the radical, the glamor girl and the little old lady, the sailor and the floozy (Ann Thomas)-are all cut out of cardboard. Only Rice's bitter, cynical, wisecracking producer walks...
From a handful of bare facts, neutral naval observers last week pieced together a story: Through the mine-strewn, net-hung waters of Helgoland Bight two divisions (three or four ships each) of British submarines made their way fortnight ago. Their highly risky mission was to sneak up and pot-shoot German warboats anchored at their bases, perhaps to intercept a squadron sallying out of harbor. One division belonged to the 640-ton Swordfish class. Two of its ships were the Seahorse and Starfish. The other division belonged to the 540-ton Unity class. One of its ships...
...show, chat with each other and pile up punch glasses at the base of the statues-agreed that artistically the choice of Argentina to start the Pan-American series of exhibitions had been sound.

...promise of MOP as a money-maker was as hollow as 1930's promise of a chicken in every pot. Three years later MOP was in the hands of a trustee in bankruptcy. Long before O. P. died he would have been glad to get back the $70,000,000 he spent buying into the No. 3 U. S. railroad (by mileage). Last month Alleghany Corp. (now controlled by Glass-Jar Tycoon George Alexander Ball) sold out 150,000 shares of O. P.'s preferred stock to establish a tax loss. They had cost an average...
...fill the Walter O'Keefe half-hour, and give battle to Pot o' Gold as well, CBS on Dec. 19 raked up a radio program called Court of Missing Heirs, which had a brisk radio career two years ago in the Midwest, tracing heirs to unclaimed fortunes. Pecking away at a guesstimated pile of $160,000,000 in unclaimed estates in the U. S., Court of Missing Heirs so far this season has told the world about $350,000 awaiting long-lost brothers, errant sons, all manner of scattered kith & siblings...
