Beachhead (Aubrey Schenck; United Artists) is one of those Hollywood adventures apparently based on the payroll schedule. Extras die like flies; bit players are allowed to put up a fight; second leads are wounded and nobly keep telling the others to go forward and leave them to perish miserably. But the hero and heroine come through it all with little more than a touch of sweat and a careful smudge on the off-profile...
...Aubrey of Yale won that event in 22.5, breaking Donovan's 1952 intercollegiate freshman record by two-tenths of a second. Sprinting again in the 100, he once more cracked a Donovan 1952 freshman intercollegiate mark with a time of 49.8. The Bullpups also set a Yale freshman record of 2:58.4 in the 300-yard medley relay.

He made it the second time...
...57th Street galleries will turn itself into a chamber of horrors. The occasion: the first U.S. show of British Painter Francis Bacon,* who is responsible for perhaps the most original and certainly the ghastliest canvases to appear in the past decade. Bacon has brought the finicky satanism of Aubrey Beardsley, Britain's famed Victorian horror dabbler, up to date, but he tops Beardsley as surely as, in literature, Franz Kafka topped...
