Actress Tallulah Bankhead's uncle-&-father-hugging act of last fortnight (TIME, July 3) had the effect of winning Uncle John and enough other Senators to restore the Federal Theatre Project to the 1940 Relief Bill. Miss Bankhead should have hugged more Representatives. When the bill went to conference, the House men simply would not warm up. They killed FTP dead, but they did agree to some other Senate generosities. As sent to the President and signed by him sorrowfully ("definite hardship and inequality on ... 8,000,000 if we count in their families...
...months ago grizzled blackamoor Prince Batoula, 44-year-old scion of a once potent Senegalese dynasty, came to the U. S.

He also carried a ram's horn suspended from his neck, ten World War decorations and a fountain pen across...

This time John Garfield is an incredibly graceless, beachcombing wise guy, a rhinestone in the rough with some strange romantic glitter for Priscilla. This time mother and the girls all get what is best for them, and nobody suffers more than a bad case of sniffles. Next time, the four daughters will return in something called Four Wives...
Last week at Ackermann's gallery in London, Peter Markham Scott's seventh exhibition of paintings testified to the industry of one of England's least indolent young men. Broad-shouldered, shock-headed Artist Scott inherited not only his father's features but his liking for open air. At intellectual Trinity College, Cambridge, he lived unsociably with a pet snake and an owl, spent his vacations duck-hunting and sailing. For his painting he chose an open-air subject-wild fowl...
