...Colorado, where the water was low in irrigation reservoirs and natural cover sparse, hunters sank steel drums into the barren shores, climbed inside their makeshift blinds and pulled gunny sacks over their heads. Like hunters elsewhere, they were equipped with plenty of shells (No. 6 shot for ducks plus a few No. 2 in case geese came in low); some of them used kazoolike duck calls on which they quacked a bedlam of food calls. Mostly it did little good: the ducks sat on the open water far from the shore line, safely out of shotgun range...

It ranges from $1,675 f.o.b. Detroit for the three-passenger coupé to $1,795 for the four-door sedan...
They Live by Night (RKO Radio) is a sleeper, i.e., a low-budget job that surprises its makers by being a hit. It has had a delayed release in the U.S. after making a reputation for itself in England. Except for its sentimental view of crooks, it is a well-made little crime movie flavored with poetic young love...
