In his review for The New York Times, Frank Rich wrote that " ...the new musical revue at the Lunt-Fontanne, is an [Duke] Ellington celebration that just won't quit until it has won over the audience with dynamic showmanship. ...it rides so high on affection, skill and, of course, stunning music that the lapses don't begin to spoil the fun. What's more, this is the only Broadway revue of recent vintage that operates on a truly grand scale."

In Belgium's decadent but turbulent 1980s, a mysterious gang of criminals showed up out of the blue to commit a series of murders and violent robberies across the country. Dubbed the Brabant Killers by the press, (les Tueurs du Brabant in French, de Bende van Nijvel in Dutch), they killed 28 people, including children, and injured over 40. And then they abruptly disappeared. To this day, no members of the gang have been caught and convicted - or even identified. Their motives are also unknown, with the initial police investigation into the case widely criticised for being chaotic and careless.

The suggestion that a dog leads a dull life does not apply to that of Rin-Tin-Tin in the screen melodrama, "Below the Line," which is on view this week at Warner's. Rin-Tin-Tin has an eventful career from the time he was owned by the villain to the days when young Donald Cass befriended the animal. Actually Rin-Tin-Tin is the energetic hero of this story, being always busily engaged in either saving himself from a dangerous predicament or rescuing his young master and the heroine. In one of the early scenes Rin-Tin-Tin, now well-known to motion picture enthusiasts, is seen in a crate in the baggage car of a train. He does not take the actions of the baggagemaster in a kindly fashion, so that brute causes the dog to be tumbled out of the car, down an incline to a river. The animal is rescued from this dilemma, and from being a snarling animal he changes to a loyal, affectionate creature. As the story goes on a woman is murdered by Jamber Niles and the Sheriff endeavors to find the criminal through a piece of cloth and a button found in the dead girl's hand. Subsequently we have Donald being attacked by the bloodhounds and Rin-Tin-Tin at first holding them at bay and finally chasing them all away with their tails between their legs. Rin-Tin-Tin does nothing by halves, for he tracks the murderer himself and kills him. There are several good scenes in this picture, but it is on the whole an overdose of melodrama. There is the ceaseless deluge of rain, the poor heroine and the trouble-encumbered hero plunging through the woods, and titles that make one turn one's head away from the screen. One of the praiseworthy portions of this subject is where Rin-Tin-Tin climbs a tree, which is bent and old. He makes two or three attempts and finally pulls himself up to the straggling branches. Dog or no dog, this picture is one of those which to see once, is enough-aye, too much. Aside from Rin-Tin-Tin's performance there is nothing noteworthy about the acting of the principals.

On October 14, 2024, a devastating fire erupted in the remote Malwaran area of Warwan tehsil, located in the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir. The fire, which began at approximately 2:45 PM, caused widespread destruction, gutting at least 40 houses in the densely populated mountainous region. The affected structures, primarily made of wood, were closely packed, allowing the flames to spread rapidly. The fire originated in hay stored in one of the houses, a common practice in the region to ensure sufficient cattle feed during the harsh winter months. Unfortunately, this combustible material quickly ignited and intensified the blaze, which engulfed the surrounding homes within a short time. The tightly knit layout of the area and the predominant use of wood in construction exacerbated the spread of the fire. Emergency efforts were immediately initiated as police personnel and local volunteers worked tirelessly to contain the blaze and assist affected residents. However, the remote location of Malwaran posed significant logistical challenges, delaying external reinforcements. To address the emergency, four fire tenders were dispatched from Kokernag in Anantnag district, Kashmir. Despite these efforts, the intensity of the fire resulted in extensive damage before it could be controlled. A comprehensive account of the tragedy was provided in the Warwan Fire Tragedy Ground Report by Anzer Ayoob, which explained the sequence of events, the challenges faced during firefighting efforts, and the impact on the local community. The report shed light on the vulnerability of the area to such disasters and the urgent need for better infrastructure and preparedness in remote regions. The Kishtwar Deputy Commissioner, Rajesh Kumar Shavan, visited the site to assess the situation and announced an ex-gratia relief of Rs 5 lakh for each affected family under the Red Cross relief fund. The administration swiftly organized temporary lodging and accommodations for the displaced families in nearby areas, ensuring they had shelter and basic necessities. This tragic incident highlights the vulnerability of remote and mountainous regions to fire disasters, particularly in areas where traditional wooden structures dominate. It also emphasizes the need for enhanced fire safety measures and improved emergency response systems in such isolated regions to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The incident left the community devastated, with many families losing not only their homes but also their possessions and livelihoods. While relief efforts are ongoing, the fire serves as a stark reminder of the importance of preparedness and infrastructure development in far-flung regions.
