...Rogers, who wept, screamed "greatest moment of my life" and fled back to her table amid dog-show din, to subside tearfully on the proud shoulders of Kitty Foyle Producer David Hempstead. Walter Brennan of the removable teeth got his third gold statue as the best supporting male (Judge Bean, in The Westerner). To stuttering, slue-footed James Stewart, who stood low in this year's forecasts but high in esteem for an unrewarded 1939 job in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Alfred Lunt handed the prize for 1940's best male acting (The Philadelphia Story...
Harry Pulham is as Bostonian as the proverbial bean and the cod. He went to an exclusive private school, and, after his four years at Harvard, entered the investment business.

On the whole his life is hardly distinguishable from those of his classmates...

The time is the 1860's, and the homesteaders and cattleraisers are busily warring for Lebensraum, giving Sam Goldwyn the chance of his life to shoot some gruesome pictures of burning homes and fields...
Designed as a temporary structure, the lab still stands. In it Boyer and his 28 aides have done many strange things-mostly with soybeans, No. 1 farm product to Henry Ford. From this bean Boyer has extracted lubricating and paint oils, made a synthetic wool, pressed insulating varnish for starters and generators, and also extracts the male sex hormone...
