...entered the Navy via Annapolis. His services to aviation include the invention of the bubble sextant (giving flyers an artificial horizon), the perfection of the sun compass and the drift indicator. He was flight leader of the MacMillan expedition to Greenland in 1923. Everyone knows the story of his flawless flight from King's Bay, Spitzbergen, to the North Pole and back in 16 hours on May 9, 1926. Last week he hinted that his next exploit would be a trip to the South Pole...

Lynn Fontanne (who spent her summer in London picking up a cockney dialect and wardrobe) plays the wild specimen of the slums. Henry Travers is her ragged parent with Shavian grievances against middle-class morality. Together with Beryl Mercer as a simple housekeeper who understands women better than the celebrated bachelor scientists, they offer as fine a performance as the Guild or any other organization, can boast for this season...
