Mary Gwendolyn Brigham '53 of Montclair, New Jersey and Moors Hall, was elected captain of the Radcliffe swimming team this week. Miss Brigham placed first in two events Wednesday in the Radcliffe-Pembroke swimming meet: the 25-yard breast stroke and the freestyle for form...
Meat-fed Trout. The brothers live as differently as they dress. George dwells (with son-in-law Sheldon Stewart) in a spacious Georgian house in Montclair, N.J., where he lives a lonely life despite the ministrations of ten servants. He amuses himself watching television (his favorite: Arthur Godfrey), listening to an electric organ played with automatic rolls, working jigsaw puzzles and tinkering with radio and TV sets. In the summer, he allows himself a suite at the ocean-side Monmouth Hotel in Spring Lake, N.J., but commutes to the office every day. He has never taken a vacation...
Under the benevolent tyranny of Father Frank Gilbreth, an efficiency expert, the brood motors from Providence, R.I. to its' new home in Montclair, N.J., swarms into school, undergoes a whooping-cough epidemic, a mass tonsillectomy, a visit from a lady apostle of birth control. The oldest daughter (Jeanne Grain) wages a long uphill fight on father's prejudices against hair-bobbing, lipstick and dates with boys. Mother, torpidly played by Myrna Loy, takes a back seat but comes into her own when father dies...
Death by Syringe. The doctor was a quiet, dark-haired, intense man of 41.

He called a nurse, asked her for a hypodermic syringe; within a few minutes he made four 10 cc. injections of air into his patient's veins...
...notion about the chronology of the Gilbreth tribe's doings. Though father Gilbreth often sounds (and sounds off) like father Day, Cheaper by the Dozen lacks the literary merits of its wise, well-honed predecessor. Mother Gilbreth's firm character is made clear (she still lives in Montclair, runs her husband's business and was 1948's "Woman of the Year"). But the personalities of the twelve Gilbreth children are never created; they remain a vague, boisterous chorus. How little such shortcomings mattered to people who want to read about the Pierce-Arrow days, Crowell...
