...Communist high command, acting through the Lenin All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences, has declared that the genetics of Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (briefly, that environment controls the heredity of organisms) is the only genetics that may be taught in Soviet institutions. The Morgan-Mendelian theory (that heredity is controlled by genes in the cells), generally accepted outside the U.S.S.R., has been forbidden and its adherents disciplined...
Medium Good. Was this system reliable? Goldsmith retorted: "I have seen it work time after time." Besides, he added with solemnity, only recently the late J. P. Morgan had passed on word, through a medium, that Goldsmith was doing fine. Goldsmith's customers thought so, too. When the investigators wrote to some of his clients, they had nothing but praise.

Cecil B. DeMille hopes to back with an hour-long dramatic show...
...Guys from Texas (Warner). Jack Carson (comedy and song) and Dennis Morgan (romance and song) stop off at a dude ranch run by quite a looker (Dorothy Malone), who can also sing. The act the two guys put on in the patio, for the other guests, would probably break the monotony of life on a dude ranch more successfully than it breaks the monotony of watching this picture. The guys are suspected of theft but finally catch the real crooks. They are moderately amusing when they horse around with a psychiatrist (Fred Clark). They even appear, in caricature...
