Four years later that farm failed, too, and the Crowells moved into Pittsburg. There, when Angeline was eight, her mother and father were divorced. Last week father Jesse Crowell, 64, a retired streetcar conductor in Gaylord, Mich., was amazed and "awful sorry" to learn that Ann Woodward was the daughter he had not seen or heard of in 23 years. "I taught her how to sit on a horse, and she later became a good rider," he recalled proudly. "I'm sure that was a great help to her when she began to associate with high society." For years...
...Angel Gabriel Borlenghi: "The prelates had erred in assuming that a procession could be held on Saturday after permission had been given for Corpus Christi Day proper." On Saturday, the Peronista press and radio announced that the ceremonies had been called off. The government drastically slowed down service on streetcar, bus and subway lines leading toward the Plaza de Mayo, but the Catholics came anyway, some of them walking miles from their homes in the suburbs...
...nights before, Ballerina Nora Kaye starred in another episode which also seemed funny-when it was all over. As Blanche du Bois in the grim ballet version of A Streetcar Named Desire, she had come within a few bars of the moment when Stanley Kowalski is supposed to rape her.

Last week he also leaped into a dramatic role: Stanley Kowalski, in Valerie Bettis' version of A Streetcar Named Desire. Dancer Youskevitch happily strutted his muscular way through the gloomy scenes, less expressive but considerably more agile than the dramatic version's Marlon Brando. ¶ Dancer-of-all-work John Kriza, 35, turned up in perhaps his most popular part, the cockiest sailor in Fancy Free, which...
...Confederate Memorial Day-and Mary Phagan, a pretty blonde girl of 13, dressed carefully for the occasion. She was wearing her best dress, her blue hat with the flowers and ribbons on it and her Sunday shoes and carrying a gay little parasol when she got on the downtown streetcar to go to the parade. On her way, she stopped off at the National Pencil Factory, where she was employed at 10? an hour, to pick up $1.20 in back pay. Early the next morning her body, ravished and brutally garroted with a piece of cord and a strip...
