...other hand, endures a dreary job because she lives in hope of finding a husband. Life is bleak for each of them; he lives from meal to meal, and she trots resolutely to the dance hall each Saturday to continue her implacable man hunt. In the end, things look brighter. She exchanges a bit of hope for a crumb of knowledge; he gives knowledge for hope. There is even a suggestion that they may meet at the dance hall the following Saturday.

Take Me Along. A nostalgic mood musical made from O'Neill's Ah, Wilderness! and made the brighter by Jackie Gleason, Walter Pidgeon, Eileen Herlie and Robert Morse...

The Russians named one conspicuous series the Soviet Range; the rest of the area is probably, a Jacqwork of circular meteor craters. The published pictures were taken at almost "full moon" from Lunik's point of view, i.e., with the sun directly "overhead." At such a time, even steep slopes near the center of the moon's disk cast no shadows and are therefore hard to photograph. Other pictures may show many more craters, cracks, valleys...
