Vets Will Get $236 Million in
i ) Insurance Dividends This Year
Trapped in Car
WASHINGTON l-Somc 5,350.
000 veterans will receive about 236
million dollars in dividends on
Veterans administration insur
ance during 1956.
Veterans Administrator Harvey
V. Higley, announcing this today,
said all the payments will be
"regular annual dividends, not
. special dividends."
However, some 20.000 veterans
holding U.S. Government Life In
surance term policies will get
their first dividend in 23 years,
sharing about one million dollars.
A VA spokesman said there was
no poliiica' significance in the
fact that these veterans received
their last dividend in 1932. during
the Republican administration of
President Herbert Hoover, and
that their next "annual" dividend,
25 ;,enrs later, was pi"niinctl in
this election year by the Eisen
hower administration.
He pointed to the formal an
nouncement, which said that:
"Up until recently the mortality
.and disability experience among
these term policy holders has not
I been good enough to warrant the
i payment of a dividend. However,
the continuing good trend of re
cent years has made it possible
to pay a dividend on this plan
for the first time in 25 years."
I There will be 210 mill'on dollars
I In 1957 dividends for some five
I million veterans holding National
Service Life Insurance, about 25
million dollars more than was
I made available for 1956 dividends,
Don't Tafce It for Granted !
. The million dollars to be paid
(he USGL1 term policyholders will
be part of a kitty of 26 million
dollars to be split among holders
of various types of USGLI poli
cies. The 26 million dollars is two
million more than was set aside
for USGLI policyholders this year.
Higley said each of the USGLI
term policyholders will be noti
fied by letter of his prospective
dividend. It will amount to an av
I crage of 20 per cent of the premi
, uins me iu.uuu are nuw paying.
' The NSLI dividend will average
13 per cent higher to holders of
i notn term and permanent policies,
with higher age groups getting the
duik oi me payments inai wilt run
above 13 per cent and lower age
groups the bulk of those falling be
low the average.

Shakespeare
Popularity
On Increase
L O N D O N-(ll)-The plays of
William Shakespeare have always
topped the classics in popularity
but never have they been so popu
lar as they are in Britain today.
Whnthe it's j.ist Ihe British
habit of grubbing at any old tradi
tion vitr both hands or a new
cultural upsurge the theatrical
world today is agog over what it
calls the bhakespearp boom.
For the past three years the
Old Vic Theatre Company in Lon
don has presentcd nothing but
Shakespeare and has played to
almost persistently full houses.
Earlier, when Shakespeare shared
the stage with other authors, the
Old Vic Theatre was generally
half full.
At Stratford-on-Avon, birthplace
of the famed playwright, where
the season or "Shakespeare Festi
val" now runs from April to No
vember, thr Stratford Memorial
Theatre packs in some 375,000 peo
ple a ; ea .
This pretty Warwickshire town
on the banks of Avon lives on its
native son and living has never
been so good. The productions at
the Mcmorip' Theatre have be
come lavish affairs, with costumes
and decor for a single play often
posting as 'nuch as $20,000.

and almost without exception, they
have been enormous successes.
Until a year ag the increase in
the popularity of Shakespeare was
confined to London and Stratford
but today the whole country is
Shakespeare conscious.
The O I d Vic 'ompany has been
touri", with Shakespeare plays
for years but of late has Been
making much morj extensive
tours. And last year, for the first
time, the Stratford company tour
ed Britain's leading provincial
towns.
Shakespeare ranks undoubtedly
Britain's most profitable "in-
visable export." Thousands of
overseas visitors spend thousands
of dollars, yen, marks, kroner or
what ha-c you attending plays at
Mratrord, at the Old Vic and at
the Opel A 1 r Thetre in Lon
don's Regent Park, where the

works of Shakespeare are fre
quently performed.
Then too both t h Stratford
and Old Vic companies have been
making extensive tours abroad,
each paying off handsomely in
hard cash and public acclaim.
And the rr.o' ies have scored
some big Shakespeare successes
recently. Londo" Films claim that
in Britain their receipts from Ihe
film "Richard III" were as great
as for any film they have made
in recent years.
Shake.'pcarc films have gone
extremely well abroad too.
"Riiiico and Juliet" for example,
broke all box office records in
Japan. The Shakespeare films also
have earned big money on tele-
In Britain today it's almost im
possible to escape Shakespeare.
His plays go on almost non-stop
in the theatre, in the cinema, on
television and on radio.
The Britis- Broadcasting Corp
oration for years has been broad
casting eight major products a
year and is planning to increase
thr amount of time .devoted to j
Shakespeare.
