Julie (MGM) is a regular little pell-meller from the opening scene, in which a jealous husband (Louis Jourdan) quarrels with his wife (Doris Day) while she is driving a car, jams his foot on the throttle, and for the next two minutes gives the moviegoer practically all the sensations of being a member of an avalanche.

Hospitalized with an infected foot Wednesday night, Keyes will not be told until this morning whether he will be able to play. Even without him, the Yardlings, concentrating on short passes and possessing a strong front line, stand a 50-50 chance for winning the game...
