...second glance this impression seems false. Little Miss Goudge (rhymes with Scrooge) is one of the most prolific and popular novelists now wielding a pen; with the help of the Literary Guild, her Green Dolphin Street (1944) and Pilgrim's Inn (1948) sold more than a million copies each. Yet in a deeper sense Novelist Goudge is just what she seems: a middle-aged Victorian lady with genteel literary inclinations...

This "last" is carefully sanded down or built up with pieces of leather so that it emerges a working model...
...film high comedy has been revived recently with increasing frequency at local theatres, notably in re-releases of Chaplin favorites and a fine, frenzied W. C. Fields double bill. The latest example of the days when Screenland was funny is now on view at the Mayflower and Pilgrim, unobtrusively inserted between showings of a feature film on Africa, called "Savage Splendor." This is neither savage nor splendid, though a good-enough documentary...
