...last week to Elmer Davis, as it must to all wartime officials, came pots of trouble. His ears had scarcely finished burning from attacks on the expense and political tone of Victory, the de luxe glamor magazine designed to sell the U.S. to the world as a kind of Hollywood 3,000 miles square, when his sprawling OWI issued a cartoon booklet on the life of President Roosevelt, also designed for distribution abroad. A U.S. soldier sent a copy to New York's Republican Congressman John Taber. Mr. Taber, who has a low irritation point, was moved...
Having thus partly adjusted the U.S.'s memories of its 25th President, Wendell Willkie set out to do a little refurbishing of his own political glamor.

Better for Bettors. The Hipódromo has already cost Pagliai and his associates 7,000,000 pesos (approximately $1,400,000 ).

Since 1933, when Mussolini began exploiting its riches, it had inflated Italian pride. Losing it was a shock...
...successful producer as well as the wife of able Director Guthrie McClintic. Over the years Cornell has performed many near-miracles. She has made the yearning soul as good box office as the fiery body. She has made an invalid lady on a couch the essence of glamor. She has turned Shakespeare and Shaw into rousing hits. And when, next week, she brings her revival of Chekhov's The Three Sisters to Broadway, it will boast a dream production by anybody's reckoning - the most glittering cast the theater has seen, commercially, in this generation...
