Teen-age girls in San Jose, Calif., like teen-age girls anywhere, share books, boys, hair curlers, lipsticks and apparently eyebrow pencils. It all seemed innocent enough until two years ago when one girl returned from a trip to Mexico unaware that she had contracted trachoma-an infection that attacks the cornea of the eye and can scar it badly enough to cause permanent blindness. That single case of a disease relatively uncommon in the U.S. spread rapidly into an epidemic of 80. The virus, reported California's Dr. Phillips Thygeson last week, was transmitted by eyebrow pencils that...
...inherent in the new international style of casting.* Stockwell, if a little too prettily dimpled for his own good, is a sensitive fugitive and lover; Lindblom is as undomesticated a domestic as a young sailor on the lam could wish. Melvyn Douglas, one of Hollywood's smoothest eyebrow-archers in the drawing-room comedies of the '30s, began a promising new career as Hud's grizzled old man, is even better now.

For Clark is, of course, a Negro and his specialty, yea life work, has been an examination of the effects of prejudice and segregation in America--or as Ebony calls it, the white problem. The great question looms, then: How can a Negro approach with any degree of objectivity a problem that has personally affected him so elementally and profoundly from the earliest memories of his existence...
Much the same might be said of Quicksilver. And like Johnson, Harry Smith isn't magical. He doesn't jump cues the way Johnson does, but he tries too hard to please. Too many of his speeches conclude with a flourish and a raised eyebrow, as if to say, "applause, please." He seemed to be following some prearranged pattern of smiles and announcements, not riding his whim...
