...contract to the Electric Boat Co., which makes most of the Navy's submarines. When these and the twelve now on the ways are ready next year, the Navy will try them out in such harbors as New York's and Norfolk's, may detail some to the Caribbean. In that case, they will be under the upturned nose of retired Admiral Leahy, now the civilian Governor of Puerto Rico...
...open season for 1939-40 started last week* when Maurice Evans reopened on Broadway in his last season's hit, an uncut Hamlet.

In every band there is something about the arrangements, that should more or less attract attention, either because they are unusually different or decidedly unique in some particular detail. Good arrangements are those which show the musicianship off to good advantage and at the same time have...
