...soon as he read the TIME article, Carter phoned Colt offering to buy the rebuffed Venus for the same price ($18,000) that the Salem committee had agreed to pay. And he proposed to lend her to the Portland Art Museum...
...restriction of "free" tickets to undergraduates who will use these tickets personally. Many of the "free" tickets which would ordinarily not be claimed are given or sold at special reduced rates to graduate students and other local and visiting males. The students who would not attend the game simply lend the interested football fans who are not undergraduates their bursar's cards.

...very thought will evoke snickers. From those who have undergone the sentence-by-sentence and world-by-word dissection of their writing that is the editorial process of the reviews, it will evoke belly-laughs.

One is the young playwright and his literary labor pains, written here & there with a real touch of wit. As the egocentric fellow in search of a wife who will thrill him, worship him, and make about $75 a week, Newcomer Tom Morton is effective, in a junior-Brando sort of way. The other redeeming feature is Tallulah Bankhead, as the star for whom Playwright Morton is trying to build a vehicle. She plays a bowdlerized version of herself, fancying herself demure...
