...Eppenauer's Gob: the 10,000-peso ($2,000) Inaugural Handicap, opening-day feature of Mexico City's resplendent new Hipodromo de las Americas (TIME, Feb. 15); before a crowd of 44,000, largest in Mexican sports history...
...equipment, but the men who man it. The trouble is that in this show the men are mostly a crew of waterlogged cinemactors. There is a gallant young Cuban (Desi Arnaz) who recites: "Your contry made my contry free, now I make your contry free." There is a comedy gob, his mouth all corners, who keeps tuning in on the Dodgers, though any radio aboard would have been sealed* before the Sybil Gray sailed. There is a radio-tinker on whose set the Nazi code is at last unscrambled, bringing warning to his ship, danger to the enemy...
...hectic triple-header romance between a dizzy blonde stenographer, her stuffed-shirt boss, and her sea-going sweetie, "A Girl, A Guy, and A Gob" is Producr Harold Lloyd's funniest show since he swapped his horned rimes for a megaphone.

In its worst moment the feature dribbles into a standard Hollywood potboiler which...

Patents on the only other successful modern method (the more recent "gob-fed" process in which blobs of molten glass are dropped into molds) have been held by Hartford-Empire. Through cross-licensing agreements, Hartford-Empire gained influence over both methods, placed itself in a position where for all practical purposes no manufacturer could make a single bottle if Hartford-Empire turned thumbs down. Hartford-Empire...
...Girl and a Gob (RKO Radio). Coffee Cup (George Murphy) is a whacky extrovert of the Step-Right-Up-and-Call-Me-Speedy school with a TNT punch, an irrepressible line of chatter, a knack-for betting on the wrong side, an unfailingly empty purse. Dot Duncan (Lucille Ball) is the girl. Belabored by a shiftless family of zanies and a vague inclination towards matrimony, she seems completely satisfied just tagging along with Coffee Cup as he churns up street brawls, whirls around the dance halls or lounges in a hamburger joint with his sailor pals. Dot's boss...
