I've never been to a Pudding show before so I can't tell, but I hear plot has usually been weak; this year it's about as thin as a slide-specimen. Innocent Kitty Kaboodle comes to New York during the Depression with hopes of instant stardom, or at least she says she's marked it on her calendar. Kitty falls in with other down-and-outers in a chorus-line--including Flo Gently, the first lady of the American stage...
Geophysicists theorize that these plates move like rafts on the partially molten material that surrounds the earth's liquid core.

The majority of quakes-and volcanic eruptions-in Central America are caused by the movement of the Cocos Plate, a section of the Pacific floor that tends to move northeastward and slides beneath Central America at a deep oceanic trench just off its west coast...
...generally moves in a westerly direction, and the Caribbean Plate, which carries part of Central and South America and moves toward the east, relative to its neighbor. This movement is slow, perhaps no more than 1½ in. a year. But the strains created as these two huge masses slide against each other are enormous. For at least 200 years, there has been no major movement where the plates meet in Guatemala.
