...inning, and the Yankees' least-prepossessing pitcher, Irving ("Bump") Hadley, held the Giants scoreless. First indication of a Giant revival came when Hank Leiber knocked out a clean single in the second inning. Encouraged, Johnny McCarthy and Harry Banning singled in quick succession, which scored one run. Then Burgess Whitehead slapped a grounder that unluckily struck Danning as he was running from first to second, thus putting him out for being hit with a batted ball. Whitehead, however, got credit for a single. Then Carl Hubbell and Joe Moore singled to bring in McCarthy and Whitehead. By this time...
...Wagon assumes: 1) the past and the present are coexistent, 2) if one could live one's life over again, second thought choices might not bring more happiness, they might bring less. To prove both points the play provides some metaphysical speeches and a time-machine. Stephen Minch (Burgess Meredith), inventor who has made a fortune for his employer, has reached his peak with the invention of a "star-wagon" which will return its driver to any desired point in the past. Nagged by his wife Martha (Lillian Gish) for his resigned poverty and fired by his employer...
...human, its early 20th Century episodes (reminiscent of Ah, Wilderness, Eugene O'Neill's better realized, if less ambitious, comedy) highly entertaining. Director McClintic's staging of an automobile ride, choir rehearsal and picnic in the year 1902 makes the second act a riot of Americana. Burgess Meredith proves himself the most accomplished of young U. S. actors, neatly running the gamut of middle age and youth, inspired duffer and embittered worldling. As the inventor's crony, Russell Collins (The Group Theatre's "Johnny Johnson") gives a compelling exhibition of bluff, whimsical idealism. Lillian Gish...
...pictures to which Reader Netedu refers were taken at Life Camps-the 51-year-old charitable enterprise founded by the comic weekly Life, taken over and carried on by TIME Inc. when it acquired the name LIFE for its new picture magazine. Under the direction of Lloyd Burgess Sharp are two boys' camps, at Pottersville, N. J. and Matamoras, Pa.; one girls' camp at Branchville, Conn. Life Camps have been supported by nationwide private contributions. This year the entire overhead is being paid by TIME Inc., thus ensuring that every contributed dollar will go direct to the child...
...card player to have invented the "Vanderbilt Convention" at contract bridge, Harold Stirling Vanderbilt is no less canny as a yachtsman. When he sold his old boat to Chandler Hovey and ordered a new one, yachtsmen were well aware that he and his famed designer, W. Starling Burgess, must have good reason to expect the new boat to be a marked improvement. Rainbow's main fault was bad balance which kept her owner busy experimenting with ballast in 1934, but correcting this was not the only aim of the new venture. Trend in America's Cup boats since...
