{5160}{490c PHYSICIAN FOUND BRUTALLY MURDERED!}
{5161}{492c _ PARTNER WANTED FOR QUESTIONING _}
{5162}{483l Doctor Theo. Wilford, Tarant's most highly respected physician, was found late last night in his office, apparently the victim of a brutal murder. The authorities have informed us that Mr. Wilford's life was extinguished in a most gruesome manner when he was stabbed through the back with a writing quill.
Those in charge of the investigation feel that the murderer is certainly a person highly skilled in the anatomy of the human form, as the killing instrument was placed in precisely the correct position to cause death. As many of our readers are aware, Mr. Wilford had recently taken on a partner, Doctor Edmund Craig, to assist with his heavy patient load.
The recent scandalous discovery of Doctor Craig's orcish lineage rocked the city, and the authorities are currently unable to locate him for questioning. Any information as to his whereabouts should be reported as quickly as possible. Do not attempt to apprehend Doctor Craig without the assistance of the guard, as he is to be considered extremely dangerous.}
{5163}{492c _ "MUMMER'S DANCE" BOTH DELIGHTS AND INTRIGUES _}
{5164}{483l Miss. Guinevere A. Sykes
The new performance of the "Mummer's Dance" by the Richold Players at the Old Market Theatre last evening was truly a sight for sore eyes. After the boring repetition of every ancient stage standard that marked last season's drab efforts, the new interpretation of this classic by the imaginative troupe was a burst of excitement. Their use of modern costuming and current idiomatic dialogue made this classic tale into a modern romance.
For those of us raised on the works of T. Bremmer and Matthias Leeks, this is a performance that will re-awaken your love for the old masters. For those not acquainted with the traditional telling of the ancient sagas, this will provide a much-needed sense of familiarity for tales that don't always seem to fit in the hurly-burly modern world.} |
