...Alfred Drake), a brilliant, self-admiring vice president in charge of production who unintentionally speaks up for the freedom of the screen-and is quickly made to feel the serfdom of its employees. Ordered by the big boss to recant, Soren is egged on by his best girl (Marsha Hunt) to rebel. About 15 minutes before the final curtain, he finds himself both jobless and blacklisted. But Hollywood itself could not find shabbier ways, in those 15 minutes, of arranging a happy ending...
...deep into the trash basket, and just as often; and while urging Hollywood not to be cowardly, at no time does it make Broadway seem brave. But the show is very well produced.

In a few hours the Mackinaw-helicopter team-the first used on the Great Lakes-had cleared a channel out into Lake Erie. A dozen ore carriers snaked along the narrow channel and followed the icebreaker down to Cleveland, thus opening navigation on the lower Great Lakes...
...school was organized as a town, to teach civic duty; boys paid '"town" taxes on their radios and bicycles, purchased "licenses" to hunt & fish on the 3,000-acre campus. Mrs. Riddle provided a blooded herd (one Guernsey cow cost $60,000) for the instruction of her young gentleman farmers. She also spent money on good instructors...
