Mannequin (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). When Actress Joan Crawford, in the lithe chic of a $2.98 bathing suit, adjusts her shopworn profile to a summer night and sighs to her handsome vis-a-vis, "why do you suppose the moon is always bigger on Saturday night?," a million understanding shopgirl hearts sigh with her. And when, temporarily exalted to a swank Manhattan penthouse, Joan looks over the parapet at the twinkling city, "piled up against the dark," many a less lyric lass wishes that she, too, might sometime be so pent...
...office, from whose walls a row of New Deal dignitaries look down, David ("Tommy") Stern 3rd moved last week, becoming general manager of Philadelphia's rambunctious Record.

Collision with one of these small planets or asteroids which lope around the solar system is a perennial theme with lurid fictionists, but mathematical chances against the occurrence are extremely high because of the great distances o space. If a body the size of ''Object Reinmuth" struck this globe it would not only annihilate everything at the site of impact but cause a tremendous earthquake and fires which would destroy life and property hundreds of miles away...
...dodge the unpleasant actualities. To him all life is a prelude to the possible disaster which may lurk around any approaching corner. By sad experience he now knows there is always an examination or some other cruel testing period impending which will inscribe an icy circle around his moon or draw a thick cloud over his sunset. Life for him does not strike with fury or with the suddenness of lightning. There is no swift piercing of the heart by savage arrow. Rather it is a slow process, cumulative, ponderous, relentless...
