...Died. Dirk Jan de Geer, 89, Netherlands ex-Premier, who after the German invasion of his country in 1940 briefly headed a London government-in-exile, later returned to The Netherlands, where he spent the rest of the war, came close enough to collaborating with the Nazis to draw a one-year suspended prison sentence for high treason in 1947; in Soest...
...Angel Wore Red (Titanus-Specta-tor; MGM) is a turbid Kleenex-sopper about an unfrocked priest (Dirk Bogarde) and a cabaret girl (Ava Gardner) who is frocked, but just barely.

The innovation is not negligible; it eliminates that hoary sham in which the cameraman shoots from behind the piano while the actor at the keyboard moves his arms up and down...
...Green has the finest defense pair in the Ivy League in Rusty Ingersoll and Ryan Ostebo. Goalie Tom Wahman may be not only the best in the East, but is such a talented hockey player that he was used last season as a first-line forward. Without plump Dirk Frankenberg to mind the nets this year, coach Eddie Jeremiah has moved the junior back to goal...
...Indians capitalized four times on some of the worst defensive play the Crimson has shown this season. They managed a sustained attack only intermittently during the evening, and goalie Harry Pratt made only ten saves, compared to 28 for Dirk Frankenberg. It was an evening of frustration for all three Crimson lines, as they dominated play throughout, but couldn't score...
