...travelers, it takes only six hours to fly from Chicago to Los Angeles. For Continental Air Lines, which next month flies the route regularly for the first time, the journey will have taken 20 years-with most of the progress made in the past five. In 1952 Continental was still an obscure regional trunk line serving a few Western cities. Today its routes cover nearly half the nation. Its net last year alone almost doubled to $710,426. When its first gleaming DC-7B sweeps down over Los Angeles, carrying coach-fare passengers in luxury style, Continental will become...

Me Candido, a very warm and pleasant new play presented by a non-profit settlement house group has been sold to the movies; Kim Stanley and many other now successful actors and actresses began their career on the off-Broadway stage...
Life's Encore. In the final stage of their journey they encountered the overwhelming if absent-minded munificence of the U.S. Army. A Negro truck driver whisked them 50 miles in 60 minutes to Halle airfield, where a U.S. dispatcher airily put them aboard a C-47 bound for Brussels and, by easy stages, home...
