Tomorrow Is Forever (International-RKO Radio) is a specious, stylishly dressed domestic drama starring Claudette Colbert and Orson Welles-as well as cinema's old friends Rip van Winkle and Enoch Arden. Derived from a lending library novel of the same title, the film concerns a young lady (Claudette) who believes that her husband (Welles) was killed in World War I. After a longish period of mourning, she reluctantly remarries. But husband No. 1, by no means dead, continues to live on in Europe. On the eve of World War II, he returns to the U.S. with a foster...
...bright enough idea, Barry's fantasy winds up seeming more like just a foolish notion. For all the Elizabeth Ardenish chic with which he has surrounded his Enoch Ardenish story, Barry cannot pump any real life or lightness into it.

For its best moments Foolish Notion can thank deep-throated Actress Bankhead-a tiger in her wrath and also...
...those who could stomach it, there was a wonderful medical-art show on view last week in Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library.

...first picture of Dr. Hans Enoch of London, co-discoverer of viviicillin, a cheap, "simplified" form of penicillin, arrived in the U.S. (see cut, /p. 44). Dr. Enoch and his colleague, W. Kurt S. Wal-lersteiner, use suspensions of the pure living penicillin mold for injections. Only a small percentage of the material is active drug, but it has achieved some remarkable cures: e.g., a hemophiliac boy with a ruptured appendix. He recovered without an operation...
...week for New Jersey bosses, Atlantic County's Republican Boss Enoch ("Nucky") Lewis Johnson took it on the double chin. Long a shameless devourer of graft, showgirls & champagne, Boss Johnson stood before a Federal bar, smiled blandly when a jury foreman said: "Not Guilty." Second later, Nucky's tough face turned an unbecoming yellow at: "Guilty!" and "Guilty!" He had been convicted of cheating the Government out of taxes on $124,800 in '36 and '37. He had escaped conviction on a charge of doing the same thing in '35. Useful witnesses: operators...
