...Tricky Mix. Schary's tactics have paid off. Until he went to RKO, the chain's uneven movie production was just an appendix to its operation of some 125 theatres. RKS's setup was to make a few pictures, hire others from independent producers. It was on such a lease arrangement that RKO took over Schary in 1946 from David O. Selznick. The first four pictures he made for RKO (Spiral Staircase, Till the End of Time, The Farmer's Daughter and The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer) helped lift RKO's 1946 net income...
Schary likes to mix imagination with his economy, deftly stirs in social questions. Crossfire, a blunt and effective arraignment of antiSemitism, was made for $600,000, is expected to gross...

Most of the companies are dead serious about their job as molders of the young mind. When a Columbia Records survey...
...spite of the Disney technical skill, it has never been a very good idea to mix cartoons and live actors. With genial showmanship, Mr. Bergen & Co. barely manage to save their part of the show. Most of the Bongo section is just middle-grade Disney, not notably inspired. And once Mickey & friends get involved with Willie, the whole picture peters out and becomes as oddly off-balance and inconsequential as its title...
Political "pork barreling" on the Committee has resulted in an inadequate educational system dominated by unqualified and uninterested men. Politics and education are ill suited to each other, and when they mix, education most certainly suffers. Since it is traditionally impossible to appoint educators to the Cambridge School Committee, the Cambridge Civic Association has endorsed only those candidates who seem eminently qualified and who have little interest in setting up a soft touch for a political erony...
