...small town of Sylacauga, Ala., about 40 miles south of Birmingham, was enjoying its noontime peace under a blue sky. In the living room of her one-story frame house, Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Hodges, a pleasant, plump housewife of 32, was napping on a sofa. She was lying on her side, covered with two quilts, one hand resting on her hip. Her mother, Mrs. Ida Franklin, was sewing in the next room. Her husband, Hewlett, a telephone company tree surgeon, was away at work...
Gregorio takes the wheel and Hemingway lets himself down to the deck and sits down. His voice has an ordinary sound, but high-pitched for the big frame that produces it. For all his years away from his rootland, he speaks with an unmistakable Midwestern twang. Absentmindedly he rubs a star-shaped scar near his right foot, one of the scars left by the mortar shell which gravely wounded him at Fossalta, Italy, in 1918 when he was a volunteer ambulance driver. Nick Adams, hero of many of Hemingway's short stories, was wounded at approximately the same place...
...Thon is an outdoor man with a devoted indoor following. Thon (rhymes with gone) lives in a fishing village on the coast of Maine, paints Maine's rocks, trees and seas subjectively and with intimate under standing; nature forms the architecture of his world.

His self-appointed task is to translate those surroundings into a few square feet of painted canvas-to bring the outdoors indoors and hang...
...acting in The Knife is almost as good as the excellent vehicle. Although Patricia Leatham is a trifle stiff as the mother, Hal Scott is really moving in the difficult role of the boy. Given the short frame work of a one-acter, Scott manages to portray a sensitive boy with the touches of voice and face that mark a subtle actor. It is to his credit, as well as Robinson's, that it is never necessary for the boy to make and obvious announcements his sensitivity. As the evil influence in the boy's life, John Fenn...
RAMBLER, which American Motors announced would be the "basic volume car" for both Hudson and Nash this year, looks little different from last year's models except for a new wafflelike grille. Most of the changes are mechanical, including a more rigid body frame, larger front-wheel cutouts for easier turning, and a wider front suspension for greater road stability. Prices have been cut to make it "competitive" with the cheapest Fords, Chevrolets and Plymouths...
