Poirot likes to take on only big and important cases, so at first he feels slighted by being called on to work on such a trivial matter. But he agrees to visit Mrs Todd’s house, and after he has seen the contents of the missing cook’s trunk, Poirot decides the case might prove to be worthy of his great talents, after all. Poirot is not interested in investigating some of the cases which appear in the newspapers and which Hastings tries to bring to his attention. These include a bank clerk who disappears with fifty thousand pounds of securities, a suicidal man and a missing typist. He is put on the spot though when visited by a Mrs. Todd who is determined that he investigate her missing cook. With some humour, and to avoid an argument, he agrees to take on the trivial case. Eliza Dunn, a middle-aged woman, walked out of her job and the Todd’s house in Clapham two days ago with- out working her notice and has not communicated with her.

    [PAGE 1] KANSAS CITY CALL TENTH ANNIVERSARY AND PROGRESS EDITION Vol. 10 No. 13 Kansas City, Mo., July 27, 1928. PROGRESS THE PROGRESS of Negroes in the United States is so great that history will point out what you have done as one of the achievements which mark this age. Your rise is one of the best proofs of the value of the American theory of government. Successes by individuals here and there have been multiplied until now yours is a mass movement. You are advancing all along the line, a sound basis for your having confidence in the future. The world’s work needs every man. I look to see the Negro, prepared by difficulty, and tested by adversity, be a valued factor in upbuilding the commonwealth. In the Middle West, where The Kansas City Call is published, lies opportunity. In addition to urban pursuits you have available for the man of small means, the farm which is one of the primary industries. The Negro in your section can develop in a well rounded way. Above all things, take counsel of what you are doing, rather than of the trials you are undergoing. Look up and go up! Julius Rosenwald [page 2] “PROGRESS EDITION” CELEBRATING THE KANSAS CITY CALL’S TENTH ANNIVERSARY Kansas City, Missouri, Friday, July YOU ARE WELCOME! The changes in The Kansas City Call’s printing plant are completed. We now occupy 1715 E. 18th street as an office; next door at 1717 is our press room and stereotyping room; upstairs is our composing room; in the basement we store paper direct from the mill.

  • John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and More
    John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and more The eldest of three children, actor and musician John Ronald Simm was born on 10 July 1970 in Leeds, West Yorkshire and grew up in Nelson, Lancashire. He attended Edge End High School, Nelson followed by Blackpool Drama College at 16 and The Drama Centre, London at 19. He lives in North London with his wife, actress Kate Magowan and their children Ryan, born on 13 August 2001 and Molly, born on 9 February 2007. Simm won the Best Actor award at the Valencia Film Festival for his film debut in Boston Kickout (1995) and has been twice BAFTA nominated (to date) for Life On Mars (2006) and Exile (2011). He supports Man U, is "a Beatles nut" and owns seven guitars. John Simm quotes I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though. Maybe my wife would disagree. I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place ... in the country that I could live. You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it. Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people.

  • Read by Clare Corbett and Daniel Weyman Playaway Preloaded
    Read by Clare Corbett and Daniel Weyman In one moment, two lives will be changed forever … and forever … and forever. The one thing that’s certain is that they met on a Cambridge street by chance and felt a connection that would last a lifetime. But as for what happened next … They fell wildly in love or went their separate ways. They kissed or they thought better of it. They married soon after or were together for a few weeks before splitting up. They grew distracted and disappointed with their daily lives together or found solace together only after hard years spent apart. With The Versions of Us, Laura Barnett has created a world as magical and affecting as those that captivated listeners in One Day and Life after Life. It is a tale of possibilities and consequences that rings across the shifting decades, from the fifties, sixties, seventies, and on to the present, showing how even the smallest choices can define the course of our lives. LAURA BARNETT is an author and journalist. She writes regularly for the Guardian, the Observer, and the Daily Telegraph. Her first novel, The Versions of Us will be published in English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Czech, and Mandarin. Barnett has also written a nonfiction book and a book of award-winning short stories. She lives in southeast London with her husband and cat. CLARE CORBETT studied at the Welsh College of Music and Drama. After winning the Carlton Hobbs audition she was chosen to be on BBC Radio. After leaving BBC she went on to narrate several children’s books, including Over the Moon, I Rule Dogsbottom School, and Boy Beware.

  • A Supporter of The
    SUPPORTERS NEWS NOVEMBER 2015 2016 A PROUD YEAR TO BE A SUPPORTER OF THE RSC “I think we are going to be very proud of the reopening of The Other Place and the Swan Wing, when they open to the public next year”. On a recent visit to our two building projects I was amazed by the progress being made and wanted to share with our Supporters the excitement of the work taking place. The two workplaces have completely different energies, each one appropriate to the project. The beehive at TOP hums with noise as dozens of workmen busy themselves, tearing holes for new windows in the outside walls, or punching holes for roof lights in the ceiling. The innovative recycling efforts, and the industrious repurposing of the old rusty box that was the Courtyard Theatre, is zooming towards its conclusion. Meanwhile the work process at the Swan Wing is altogether quieter, and more intensely detailed, focused as it is on the challenges of restoring the fabric of a building which has stood by the Avon for nearly 135 years. The Swan Theatre Photo by Stewart Hemley The Swan Wing masonry has all been cleared in a careful sequence, using differently techniques and has revealed again the three terracotta plaques that grace the front of the Swan. The oriel bay window which usually over looks Weston square, now reveals fairy sculptures that peer beneath the window. A perky imp sheltering under a large anemone, and a demonic little goblin sits cross legged in a corner stretching his bat wings. All over the exterior of the building, piece in repairs, mortar repairs, discreet pinning and lime consolidation have all been undertaken to restore the fragile carved and plain stone surfaces.
