...three forward lines have worked well together, and have been shooting and passing effectively. George Hackett, John Paine, and Councie Morgan make up so called first line, while equally good service can be expected from the lines of Fred Bacon, Bill Apthorp, and Bill Hackett, and of George Gebelein, Bill Ray, and Chester Jenks...
Another Thin Man is the third working.* Shot in 36 days with extreme care by the same producer and director, again using a script by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, it brought back William Powell as smart Detective Nick Charles, Myrna Loy as Nora, his imperturbable wife, Asta (cranky and snappy after a nervous breakdown) as their dog.

Artie Shaw, who has been suffering from a very rare and usually fatal blood disease, is now definitely out of danger and is recuperating on the Coast . . . Strong rumor has it that Bea Wain, Larry Clinton's song stress, is going to leave...

In the doubles Wilson and Symon defeated Mallinckrodt and Squibb, and Bill McGinniss and Spaeth won over Hackett and Bannister, as Ellis and Burton bowed to Biddle and Dunham...
