Motherless Frogs. Five years ago Physiologist Gregory Goodwin Pincus of Clark University produced fatherless rabbits by removing ova from virgin females, fertilizing the ova with a salt solution, replanting the fertilized eggs in other females to gestate (TIME, April 6, 1936). Last week Dr. Keith Roberts Porter of the Rockefeller Institute announced that he had produced a greater wonder: motherless tadpoles. He removed the nucleus from a frog's egg at the moment of fertilization, but before it could unite with the nucleus of the male sperm. This made the mother's contribution apparently a mere anonymous drop...

Seasoned, frog-voiced Marjorie Rambeau puts on Marie Dressler's costume; villainized, kinky-haired Alan Hale plays the Wallace Beery part of Bullwinkle, Annie's rival. Like all good skates on the screen, Annie builds herself a heap of trouble before she rescues the mortgage and gets the young folks (Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman) together for a happy ending. The result is passable, not irresistible...
...sophisticated melodic patterns built around the 32 bar theme. . . For a girl vocal trio that really swings (Andrews Sisters please note), listen to the Dandridge Sisters with Jinunie Lunceford on Red Wagon and You Ain't Nowhere (COLUMBIA). Trio and orchestra work together smoothly in two fine novelty tunes. . . Frog voiced, one-armed jive artist Wingy Mannone cuts two sides of terrific undisciplined jazz Dinner For the Duchess and Wingy Mannene cuts two sides of terrific undisciplined jazzy Dinner For the Duchess and When I Get You Alone Tonight (BLUEBIRD). Wingly's seat choruses are featured on both sides...
