...large and convivial graduate audience at the clubhouse theatre off Winthrop Square, "Out of Line" like every show, had its ups and downs. But the occasional failure of the chorus to swing in step, and a few roughnesses in the dialogue were more than overbalanced by a fast moving tempo and an exceptional musical score. A unified plot, backed by well-turned bit parts, concerns the acquisition and rejuvenation of Updike Whipple University by a pair of modern men about town, played by Allen Mathis and Jack O'Neil...
...tremendous influx of skilled labor brought sharply to the attention of the Star the need for a bright, compact newspaper in modern tempo. At the same time . . . a modern motor-coach system . . . makes the old, large newspaper impractical to read while riding." Thus last week the Seattle Star gave its reason for becoming the Pacific Northwest's first tabloid. There were other reasons.

It, and the Handel, Bach and Grandjany concertos; the organ, harp, string orchestra, and tympani, all point to one of the best concerts of the season...
Last week snow clogged Balkan mountain passes and the skies over Britain were stormy. But over the coast of Europe the R. A. F. pounded the invasion ports as it never had before (see p. 30), and in Africa British arms put Italy to a historic disgrace. The tempo of diplomacy also quickened. Europe's statesmen played long-range power politics to pitch newer battlefronts on grounds of their own choosing...
