Even more stunned by 36-year-old Maurice Tobin's victory over him than he was by his Senatorial trimming at the hands of 34-year-old Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., 62-year-old Jim Curley, his golden voice hoarse, prepared to depart for the West Indies. To reporters who intimated that he had received a second unmistakable cue for his political exit, the old boss parried: "I will decide what to do next when I have had a rest and my vision is clear...

Morgan Partner Thomas William Lament's son Corliss, who describes himself as "not a Communist but a critical Communist sympathizer," was on hand with two Golden Books of American Friendship With The Soviet Union weighing 50 Ib. each.

...recent seasons, with his outspoken Waiting for Lefty, Awake and Sing, Leftist Playwright Odets took to Hollywood last year, turned out melodrama that veered neither left nor right. That Hollywood has improved the Odets technique is apparent in the swift mounting of scenes, the extravagance of dramatic energy in Golden Boy. That his experience in the cinema has not lessened his power as a playwright of the masses is equally apparent. The Italian family of the play might have been sketched from behind the portieres of its own flat...
