...taking a date to the Penn game this Saturday you will probably have to walk into the stadium to a pair of seats somewhere between the goal line and the 15 yard stripe. Don't be embarrassed about it though, because almost every other Harvard man taking a girl to the game is in the same...
...element, sort of added attraction, is some thought-content,--not much, it's true, but some. The characters of Madison Breed and B. J. Wickfield are drawn on a slightly higher level than the broad, low, and beautiful plain of sex, even though they make frequent excursions downward.

For M.G.M. has screened his "immortal classic," the "Wizard of Oz," as only M.G.M. can. With a sort of inverted Midas touch, they have turned fabulous amounts of gold into one of the most imposing pictures of the season. Of course, Frank Baum has been rather left out of things in the process and a strong aroma of Walt Disney drifts out from...
