Special scholarship prizes were awarded during the course of the evening to two Juniors-Robert G. V. Dallahan and Richard B. Seymour, and to two Sophomores-John J. Butler and Donald H. Shively.

...smashed; Brent and his blonde captive will live a better life together after the war), International Lady is more effective as a warning to Americans to beware of wealthy Long Island fifth columnists than as a creepy spy melodrama.

...Saturday there will be "Ruggles of Red Gap" and "Kitty Foyle." Ruggles is the English butler who showed Red Gap's uppercrust how to live, only to find he liked their way better. Charles Laughton, Charlie Ruggles and Mary Boland combined to make this a howling success several years ago and it should be every bit as amusing now. The companion-piece is Christopher Morley's tale of the trials of the white-collar girl. Its star is Ginger Rogers and her performance won her the Academy Award, but "Kitty Foyle" is still feminine fodder. Grab 'em while...
