Loretta Young always has a sad look in her eyes, and in this picture it is somehow more effective when she is being rushed by a dozen caballeroes than when she has lost her husband. Altogether her presence and her hearing and her acting are highly pleasing. Don Ameche and Kent Taylor are certainly good enough, and that extremely physical Katherine de Mille loses to Loretta with as dour a sulleness as she did in "The Crusades". Its charms being thus threefold, the picture is a good investment...
...this spring, when Father Schulte traveled to the U. S. on the Hindenburg and thereupon with papal permission celebrated the world's first aerial Mass (TIME. May 18), MIVA had acquired a dozen planes, more than 150 automobiles and motorboats which now ply among mission stations in Albania, Lettland, East, West and South Africa, Madagascar, Korea, New Guinea, Brazil and the Solomon Islands. Last week Father Schulte was in Manhattan, full of plans for adding northern Canada to MIVA's territory.

...little avail last week to 40,000 terror-stricken inhabitants of Western Oregon where forest fires raging in the parched timberland were whipped down to the coast by high winds.

...most spectacular in World Series history. When it was over, 18-to-4 for the Yankees, the Giants had used five pitchers. Every Yankee including Pitcher Lefty Gomez had made at least one hit and one run. Baseball statisticians had compiled an even dozen new records. It was the biggest score and the worst beating in World Series history. Most brilliant individual performance was that of Second Baseman Tony Lazzeri. He duplicated a feat accomplished only once before in a World Series when, in the third inning, he made a home run with the bases full. Later, he shared with...
After the War, in which he became a Major, Dr. March organized two dozen or so professional football teams into a loose organization which later crystallized into the National League. When a squabble with Laundryman George Marshall, owner of the Boston Redskins, put him out of the National League two years ago, Dr. March wrote a book called Pro Football, which stamps him as the leading U. S. authority on the subject. Last spring he promoted the idea of a second professional league, which got quick backing. Burly, pipe-smoking Dr. March is currently its president. Most remarkable...
