...anything could make King Charles look good, it is the second production, Village Wooing -an unimaginative, and rather pointless tale about a thoroughly boring shop-girl's efforts to snare a pompous, Oxford-educated guidebook writer. In the end she succeeds, but no one, including Shaw, really cares. The play is just a vehicle for him to get in a few anti-American one liners, and express his male chauvinism more thoroughly than in his other plays...
...Very close to the time Schroeder is being buried, five officers in Worcester, Mass., are setting their trap to snare the elusive Lefty Gilday in the town's Billing's Square...

Last week the price of those shares rallied from $2.22 to $2.82 in London. I.C.C. stands to snare a profit of $7,500,000 for every $1 that I.O.S. stock rises above $2.

Dovish Challenger Lewis Kaden failed by a wide margin in an effort to unseat Democratic Representative Edward Patten in the 15th District, right in the Princeton backyard of the M.N.C. No one can fault the students' energy; they got 3,000 more voters to take part in the congressional primary than voted in a U.S. Senate primary in the same district. But an analysis showed that blanket canvassing in pro-Kaden areas brought Patten...
...many genre scenes of daily life-making cider or bartering a horse-have primarily an historical and anecdotal interest. The best come from an unsentimental brush, free from the snare of an over-appealing subject. A winter scene in Brooklyn, half way between landscape and genre, shows a section of New York City as a country town with a wood pile in the foreground and animals walking in the snow...
