...Hopkins, sick though he is, has done a fair job of smoothing out his own relations with U. S. businessmen since he became Secretary last January. But Ed Noble, in addition to being a competent smoothie, is a businessman himself. Other businessmen think he is a very good one. Fresh out of Yale, he and another pushy youngster named J. Roy Allen bumped into a Cleveland candymaker who, for a sideline, manufactured hard little mints shaped like and labeled Life Savers.

...Wrapped up in a brand new package of old English drama, Anna Neagle scales the heights of theatrical adoration and wins that greatest prize of all--a corner in the heart of immortal David Garrick. It is the old story of home town girl makes good. But it is fresh and appealing, steeped in the lore of England in the days of Vauxhall and Will's Coffee House. In the hands of Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Garrick is not just Garrick the man but Garrick the actor, as brilliant in his lover's arms as in the throes of "The Merchant...
