...cigar men had gathered to hear Joseph Kolodny, onetime chairman of the NRA code authority for the wholesale tobacco trade, outline plans for saving the cigar. Apparently attached to New Deal terminology, Mr. Kolodny announced the founding of a promotional committee called the Cigar Progress Board, with himself as administrator...
...Many people ascribe the decline in cigar smoking to the accelerated pace of American life," meditated Administrator Kolodny in a fine blue haze. "Others declare it is partly due to the invasion of women smoking cigarets." But whatever the cause, said he, the Cigar Progress Board was out to restore the cigar's oldtime prestige. Cigar makers, who will save some $3,800,000 this year through invalidation of AAA processing taxes, will support the following CPB efforts...
...From Kronstadt (Amkino). The hallmark of most Russian films is their incongruous blend of loose amateurism and disciplined genius. In We Are From Kronstadt, Cameraman N.

Apes. The Yale Laboratories of Primate Biology have a colony of about 40 chimpanzees which, because sexual and social experiments are constantly in progress, make frequent news. Last week Dr. Henry Wieghorst Nissen and Meredith P. Crawford ran off motion pictures showing altruism and co-operation among the apes. When one animal had food and another in an adjoining cage had none, the hungry one would beg by thrusting his hand through the bars. Often the other chimpanzee would share his food, especially if the two were well acquainted. Sometimes, however, the ape with food would simply shake hands with...
