American Landscape (by Elmer Rice; produced by The Playwrights' Company). In the fall of 1934, after two of his plays (Judgment Day, Between Two Worlds) had been panned, Elmer Rice, calling first-night audiences "the scum of the earth," savagely forswore the theatre. But when The Playwrights' Company was formed last spring, Rice quietly chucked away his vow. Last week his American Landscape followed the Company's Knickerbocker Holiday and Abe Lincoln in Illinois to Broadway...
...Tiny Thompson philosophically packed his bags, including the lucky goalie pads he has been wearing for 14 years, pocketed the $1,000 check the Bruins gave him to soothe his injured feelings, and entrained for Detroit. There the nimble hands, quick eyes and split-second judgment that had made him the best goalie in the world behaved as well for the Red Wings as they had for the Bruins. In his first game the Red Wings trounced the top-notch Chicago Black Hawks, 4-to-1. "We'll be just as good as Boston before long," chuckled Newcomer Thompson...
Against the judgment of his superiors. Secretary Emmons had 100,000 copies of The Upper Room's first issue printed by the Southern Methodist Publishing House in Nashville, Tenn.

Altogether, nearly 10,000,000 copies have been sold...

Chastised most emphatically by the general defeat of zealous New Dealers was the end-justifies-the-means attitude expressed by Harry Hopkins when he said, in an excited private argument with friends at the Empire City race track in October: "We will spend and spend, tax and tax, elect and elect...
...somewhat intangible nature, but nevertheless of great value. It can, first of all, start them thinking seriously and correctly about a choice of career. Because of the complexities of a vocational decision as well as its importance toward a productive and happy life, it requires, not merely a snap judgment in the senior year when the student has other worries and problems besetting him, but recurrent consideration on spare Sunday afternoons and off evenings throughout all the college years. Yet most students are prone to procrastinate on such matters unless impelled by objective and sympathetic advice such as the Placement...
