...Comes Back (Warner Bros.). Sock for sock, the prize ring cannot compare with its cinema counterpart for fury, excitement, sustained pace; this, in spite of the fact that few actors are natural sockers. Newest and most natural of the cinema sockers is rangy, 190-pound, six-footer Wayne Morris. Socker Morris, turning 24 this week, lashes out with the unrepressed indignation of a small boy fighting over a marble game. And he really knows something about boxing. In the course of training for his Warner Bros. career, he has K.O.'d a whole row of professional roughnecks...
...Mice and Men (TIME, Dec. 6) have a 4½-in. buildup, not 4 in., as reported. I ought to know-I made them. In street shoes Crawford stands 6 ft. 1½ in., in my shoes (Trademark "Staturaid" patent pending) he's a 6½ footer. Incidentally, this was only the second theatrical order I executed and with that buildup you can't expect inconspicuousness.

In the decade before his death in 1911 he never made less than...

Host to last week's sequicentennial was Bishop David Henry Sims, 47, a broad-shouldered six-footer who, from Philadelphia, supervises 700 churches in the East and one in Bermuda...
...have a Pennsylvania member. In 1933 President Roosevelt remedied this state of affairs and did his political ally. Senator Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsylvania, a favor by giving an I. C. C. berth to Senator Guffey's brother-in-law Carroll Miller. Mr. Miller, a lanky six-footer whose lantern jaw, stooped shoulders and pince-nez make him look like a schoolmaster and whose extraordinary drawl and dry wit sometimes make him sound like a Will Rogers type hayseed, hails from Richmond, Va., has spent most of his 62 years running utilities in the U. S. and Japan. Since...
