John Kennedy, 21, second son of President Roosevelt's alert Ambassador Joe, was shot by his sire from London up to Glasgow last week to help interview survivors of the sunken S. S. Athenia. He was authorized to say that the U. S. steamer Orizaba was being sent over to fetch the Athenians home. The neutral yacht Stella Polaris was also being sought from Raymond-Whitcomb Travel Service (world tours...
...fall of 1938, Joe Kennedy worked with the appeasers, and although his faith was badly shaken during the Munich crisis, hoped settlement would be made, told Americans there would be no war in 1938.

Golden Boy (Columbia) is not the first prize-fighter picture whose hero fails to win the championship, but it is the first to portray a fighter as a pitiable neurotic. Joe Bonaparte (William Holden) has a beautiful pair of hands, which he can use to equal effect playing the violin or smashing a face. The violin seems likely to win out with thoughtful Joe until Manager Tom Moody (Adolphe Menjou), threatened with the loss of a promising meal ticket, gets his girl, Lorna Moon (Barbara Stanwyck), to stiffen Joe's spine. In Clifford Odets' play, Joe never...
