After Office Hours (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). When she enters the combined boathouse, garage, workshop, countryseat and rendezvous maintained by the villain of this picture, Sharon Norwood (Constance Bennett) is favorably impressed. She casts a glance at her surroundings and says to her host: "Nice, nice, nice...
After Office Hours includes, in addition to the sinister cottage, handsome Cedric Gibbons interiors of a Park Avenue apartment, a publisher's office and a waterfront cabaret. It gives Constance Bennett a chance to pose in four different evening gowns and to prove, superfluously, that she is still the most affected young woman on the U. S. screen.

...Last week an obscure American Airlines pilot named Leland S. Andrews climbed into the Doolittle Vultee at Los Angeles, streaked non-stop to Washington to deliver a box of orchids to Mrs. Roosevelt.

Over the icy concrete runways of Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field one day last week streaked a shiny new sedan with a professional "hell driver" at the wheel. While police and safety officials held their breath the car hurtled over six-inch railroad spikes at 60 m.p.h., had its rear tires slashed by automatic knives. What made the demonstration remarkable was that after the blowouts the car did not swerve dangerously but was brought safely to a stop under full control...
