...Castle." Unfortunately, the picture offers little else. During Vernon's early slapstick days--his barber shop scene with Lew Fields, his gaudy, striped coats that are liable to start a national trend, his old-fashioned romance with Irene Foote--the picture proceeds at a light and entertaining pace. The mood of pre-war gaiety and Sunday excursions to the beach at New Rochelle is, made delightfully real. But once Vernon and Irene are happily married, the sad curse of a story without "boy seeks girl" throws the picture into dreariness. To recapture some trace of excitement, the standby for heart...
Mogul Goldwyn has outdone himself to make Wuthering Heights not only a faithful representation of the book, making only excusable cuts, but a superb picture. To maintain such a consistent mood of grim decadence is no easy job for a motion picture, yet director, producer, and cast have held that mood and made Wuthering Heights into a tremendously convincing tragedy. But of all those who had a hand in the picture Laurence Oliver deserves the largest share of credit. Here is a Robert Taylor with some guts, a Clark Gable who knows...
...above lyrics from the newly-released Billie Holiday (Commodore Music Shop) of "Strang Fruit" are part of one of the most amazing mood records ever cut.

The director, still in smuggling mood, had addressed the throne to a friend in Oakland, Calif., which he innocently assumed was a suburb of New York. Mrs. Roosevelt and Holland America Line officials looked some more, found the imperial seat, not yet forwarded to "suburban" Oakland, in a crate on a dock in Hoboken, N. J. Last...
...hard-shelled, bone-picking mood last week were 6,000 delegates to the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting in Oklahoma City, Okla. In a "pronouncement on religious liberty," the Convention protested against: 1) Roosevelt's sending Joseph P. Kennedy as his personal representative to the coronation of Pope Pius XII; 2) adjourning Congress at the death of Pius XI; 3) "the employment of any of the branches of our national defense in connection with religious services."* Three Southern Senators signed the protest: North Carolina's Bailey, Georgia's George, Kentucky's Logan...
