Fonda has given us, in "Young Mr. Lincoln," one that is different. He could have walked through the part, because by nature he had been fitted to play it. It would have been no effort at all for him to look like Lincoln, with a little help from the makeup man. The Art of Conversation On the Road r RIVINGandis tooften break the monoto-nou- s, tecon- w dium drivers indulge in versation. Sometimes this pastime leads to serious accidents.

How ever, even if all goes well, the job of locating and repairing an ocean cable seems intricate and arduous to a landlubber. Electricians on shore first determine by means of special instruments where the cable is broken. Then the cable ship steams to the spot. The ship lowers a grappling hook and steams slowly back and forth at right angles to the path of the cable. When the cable, which is often buried in the mud, is hooked, it is immediately pulled to the surface and repaired. floor!" "Sixth floor sirts and shuits, haberladies dashery, lady binen.

He'd be horrible, they declared, in contrast with Martyn Green, Sydney Granville, and the other members of the celebrated D'Oyly Carte Opera company, who have concentrated for years on Gilbert and Sullivan products. Now they're acclaiming him. It's no surprise to the rest of the cast. After he sang his first selection, "A Wandering Minstrel," they realized how good he was.
