...photography is first-class in a murkily introspective way, and the ballerina (Sybil Werden), the druggist (O. W. Fischer) and his wife (Heidemarie Hatheyer) are steadily excellent. There is some quiet kidding of second-string ballet companies, and a thrilling, light-splashed rush through the country in a carriage. But all too often the moviegoer is deafened by the tinkling symbols (e.g., spiders to signify evil thoughts, scales to balance vice and virtue) that clamor in the background...
...Smart Subaltern. Jacobo (pronounced Ha-coe-boe) Arbenz was born in Quezaltenango in 1913 of a Ladino mother and a moody Swiss immigrant druggist who failed in business, walked out on his family and later killed himself. Another Swiss in the town intervened with General Jorge Ubico, the country's all-powerful ruler, to get the blond youth a scholarship at the national military school. Quickwitted and lithely muscular, Arbenz played polo and boxed while pulling down the highest grades in the academy's history. But when school triumphs were over, he was just another impoverished subaltern with...
This year more than half of all U.S. convictions of druggists for illegal sale of prescription items have involved amphetamine. On the FDA's list, goof balls are pushing barbiturates as the worst under-the-counter drug menace.

Sing Till Tomorrow was worse than just plain bad: it was fuzzily and pretentiously so, and with acting that matched the script. Involved were a druggist, his second wife and his son, who sinned with the wife and wrote a play attacking the father. "His pitch is a stammer to the far-flung stars" is a fair sample of how the characters addressed one another; and their lives seemed as curiously-and often as needlessly-tortured...
Creston's worried parents scouted around, found that the grownups of Eldora, Wapello, Clinton, Columbus Junction and other Iowa towns had met the menace by offering an annual community-sponsored all-night fling. Last week Creston tried the same remedy. Druggist Rex L. Mitchell sparked the party, got 33 local organizations to cooperate. The junior and senior classes approved the plans, added stipulations: 1) no teachers allowed after the prom, 2) other adults could serve food and drive the cars but were in no way to act like chaperons. The kids picked a name for the fling: "Crestubilee...
