Hear ye, hear ye, ye men of fat legs and thin legs, of long legs and short legs; harken, ye seekers after maximum comfort and the minimum of swaddling clothes. Give ear, ye who would be dictators of a fashion and dressed in the style of the hour. We announce the "short," as suitable for all Hanover occasions--full dress, informal afternoon wear, morning lounging apparel. Tomorrow...
Then follows the courtroom scene in which "Sandy" Tully (Jack Hartley), good friend of the deceased, is being tried for Stromberg's murder on very thin evidence indeed. Just as a witness is about to tell all he knows, a fusillade rings out from an upper box of the theatre, thus somehow terminating the legal proceedings. Last act is a flashback to Room No. 349, a scene in which Mr. Stromberg is portrayed as being wise, powerful, philanthropic, tender. His short temper, his desire to "quit the racket" and marry Babette are given as reasons for the quarrel...

Live and Learn. Presented by Michael Kallesser-who wrote One Man's Woman, Trial Marriage, Marriage on Approval- Live and Learn is a thin little wisp of domestic dramaturgy. If Frederick Manning ("a vagabond and a plunger") had not come to dine with Harold ("who has a pagan love for movement and color") and Mabel Fuller, along with Annette Roberts ("a gold digger on a legal holiday"), there would have been no elderberry wine. Had it not been for the elderberry wine, Harold would not have been drunk, Annette more drunk. Nor would Mabel have left home and Frederick...
