Wall Street's bull market last week made its biggest weekly jump of 1959. The Dow-Jones industrial average scooted up 15.51 points to close at 654.76. It was well above the previous alltime high of 643.79 set May 29. and more than 70 points ahead of where the average started on Jan. 1. Brokers expected the climb to continue. Not only was business news generally bright, but the record showed that industrials have advanced smartly in July and August in two years out of every three during the 20th century...

The hairy-chested novelist saved his punch for The Sun Also Rises...
Woman Obsessed (20th Century-Fox). "You'll never touch me again!" cries the red-haired Saskatchewan farm wife (Susan Hayward) at her rednecked husband (Stephen Boyd), who has just whopped her one in the face. She slams the bedroom door and locks it. Bellowing like a mad bull, he busts the door down and-blackout. Several scenes later, Susan announces bitterly that she is pregnant. As the four-column ads explain it: "She hated the child whose life stirred within her because it was part of him whom she loathed and despised." She prays that she will lose...
