On The Side (Distributed by King The "Taming Of The Shrew" ia reported' playing to capacity at the Shakespearean Festival at Stratford, Conn. The comedy on wife training probably holds the all-time box office record of all of the Bard's plays. It practically never fails to score. It wag a smash hit when Ada Rehan and Otis Skinner played It. Also when Sothern and Marlowe did it, It served as an outstanding vehicle for Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt. Basil Sidney and Mary Ellis did it in modern dress with ex cellent results. Then there was the musical version titled "Kiss Me Kate" with Alfred Drake and Patricia Morison. It is in teresting to note that in "Kiss Me Kate," the orjginal story was closely followed. Not only that, Cole Porter used many of the original Shakespearean lines as 'lyrics. Asking Queries from clients. Q. What were plasterers paid in New York City 30 years ago? A. In 1926 plasterers were paid $14 a day. Keep in mind that at that time the dollar had three times as much purchasing power as it has today. Q. What is a "Dogie?" A.

Have you a diploma from a school for expectant papas? Has your wife taken a course in infant care and assembled a library of books on the subject? Does she know how long it takes to properly care for a baby? Ac cording to an extensive check, it takes a mother five hours and 41 minutes daily to care for a baby as a full time task. And a part time task the rest of the day. Of course, if you are a properly trained papa you can spell your wife occasionally.

Models What measurements must a young woman have to qualify as a dress model in Manhattan? That is a query frequently ask ed. Said measurements vary. For example, I note that one establishment seeks a model who is 5 feet 8V4 inches in heels. Other measurements desired by this firm are, 33-22-33. Another outfit, a world famous firm, seeks models who are 5 feet 9V4 inches in heels. Then there is another seeking models who are 5 feet 5'4 inches in stocking feet with measurements of 36-25-35. Customers Ever read the book titled "Four Hundred Million Custom ers" by Carl Crow? Dealt with sales methods adapted to sell ing the 400 million people of China. Very interesting. Was written years ago. The popula tion of China is now 602 million. It is the fastest growing country in the world. It is expected by 1980 that the population of China will be 1,000 million. That's a lot of customers and Soviet Russia hopes to monop lize that business. EW ! all-transistor variable radio Wi MIRACLE COMPACT POWER 9r it today G.E' Litwrt mfta trhtrmmevt.
