...humble, hard working general practitioner, too dour to be popular with his patients, too generous to make them pay their bills. Derived from Katharine Haviland Taylor's story The Failure, related with notable economy, his brief, triumphant biography provides Edward Ellis with a character actor's dream of a fat part. In it he gives a beautifully sustained, low-keyed characterization which, while probably not showy enough to get him an Academy Award, rates as one of Hollywood's outstanding performances of the year...
...ARCHITECTURAL FORUM published rough plans, which Franklin Roosevelt sketched and initialed last February and Architect Henry J. Toombs of Atlanta trued up, for a five-room, one-story ''dream house" on the President's lately purchased, 70-acre tract next to his mother's estate at Hyde Park. In his rendered perspective drawings, Architect Toombs respectfully subscribed himself only as an "associate" of Architect Roosevelt (unlicensed).

To give it the unity of an omelet has long been the dream of many a Lutheran-a dream partly realized in 1918, when several Lutheran bodies were merged into the United Lutheran Church, largest (1,599,102 baptized members) in the land. Last week United Lutherans held their 11th biennial conference in Baltimore. As always, they elected bald, goateed, precise Dr. Frederick Hermann Knubel of Manhattan to be their president. As always, Dr. Knubel, now 68, accepted...
