Stitches Don't Hurt. Graham, says Coach Brown (who converted Otto from a Northwestern single-wing halfback), "is the first to admit how much he must depend on the work of other players." The other players, in turn, depend on Graham. During a tight game with the San Francisco Forty-Niners earlier in the season, Graham suffered a severe face gash (only his second injury in eight years of pro ball). The wound required 15 stitches, but Graham went back into the game, completed nine of ten passes, and the Browns finally won, 23-21. Next night, Graham...

For some who do not show it, he invokes a "psi-missing" factor to explain why their clairvoyance is below par. For the brute creation, Rhine now postulates "anpsi" (animal psi), which may or may not be the same as human...
...stage directions, Stanley Holloway leads the cast as the liquor-loveing philanthropist. He is effective in several of the early scenes, but finally succumbs to the thinness of the story. Hugh Griffith playing the Thunderbolt's fireman delivers the most convincing performances. Unfortunately, only a few laughs depend upon his part...
