1930s British comedy from director Bernard Vorhaus and producer Joe
Rock. Rival factory owners Sam (Stanley Holloway) and Bill (Will
Fyffe) try to work together in order to obtain a big contract. The
situation is further complicated when Sam's son Jack (Jimmy Hanley)
and Bill's niece Joan (Mary Lawson) become romantically involved.
A better "casting" could not be conceived. The authors of this book
are gold smiths on the subject. I have followed their work since
their "entry" into cyto genetics and I have a high esteem for them.
I consider it an honour to be asked to write the preface of their
opus. Paul Popescu, Directeur de Recherche at INRA, has also played
a promi nent part in the development of animal cytogenetics,
especially in domestic animals. He is able to tell you the cost of
a translocation in a pig breeding farm or a cow population: a
fortune! P. Popescu has played a great part in gene mapping of
these species using "in situ DNA hybridisation". His contributions
are recognised world-wide. His laboratory receives many visitors
every year and it serves as a reference for domestic animal
cytogenetics. Helene Hayes, Charge de Recherche at INRA, has
collaborated with P. POPESCU in the elaboration of the "at hand"
techniques and in many other discoveries which are listed in her
bibliography. She showed the fascinating correspondence between
bovine and human chromosomes and the com pared gene maps of
domestic bovidae.

Applause for The Fabulous Lunts "Mr. Brown has produced a
thoroughly researched study of the Lunts that powerfully evokes a
romantic age of the theatre ... A worthy testament to their art."
-New York Times Book Review "Their story is an irresistibly
appealing one, and Brown's telling of it will help to speed their
return to our common consciousness. As darkness threatens to fall
on Broadway, we are more than ever in need of the memory of who
they were and what they achieved." -The New Yorker (Brendan Gill)
"A must for anyone involved with or interested in theatre and a
fascinating, well-written book even for the general reader."
-Washington Post Book World "For those fortunates who missed seeing
them, this book about the Lunts describes their wonder; for those
of us who knew them, saw them, and were magicked, it is a
surpassing souvenir, a shining memory." -Garson Kanin "I was
dazzled by the book ... It almost amounts to an American theatre
history from the turn of the century through the fifties and, of
course, provides a badly needed sense of heritage for young
artists." -Uta Hagen "I can testify that one's theatre library
would not be complete unless it included The Fabulous Lunts. This
book is a must for all theatre lovers " -Carol Channing

In addressing her grandchildren in the foreword to this
autobiography, Helen Hayes writes: 'It is no longer fashionable to
have faith; but your grandmother has never been famous for her
chic.' It is, in fact, because of her tenacious faith in the world
that Helen Hayes decided to write this book as a legacy for her
grandchildren; to be read one day when they are grown. In setting
down all the family stories, the backstage anecdotes and her
recollections of spiritual struggle, she has produced a legacy for
all of us. After years of unwillingness to discuss her private
world-which even her bestselling book A Gift of Joy did not do-she
has looked beyond her legend and directly at life's lessons as she
was forced to learn them. Deeply moving and affectionately witty,
her autobiography is an affirmation of the faith that first gave it
impetus. All the Helens are here: the 'unrehearsed' child and her
shy but ambitious mother; the young actress who so appealed to such
luminaries as John Drew and William Gillette; the young woman who
forged a marriage with a brilliant renegade named Charles
MacArthur; the mother of Mary and Jim; the keeper of an endless
procession of hilariously tyrannical poodles; the friend of
Fitzgerald, Harpo Marx and Dietrich; the lady who became out 'First
Lady of the Theater'; the mature woman, looking forward; and still,
and always, the actress. On Reflection is in every sense, an
unforgettable book.
