Bright Road (M-G-M), a drama of Southern Negro life, spins a slight, sentimental story about a pretty, fourth-grade schoolteacher (Dorothy Dandridge) and a handsome principal (Harry Bellafonte) who, through kindness and understanding, reform a rebellious, eleven-year-old pupil (Philip Hepburn).

But at the same time he believes in uplift for the aborigines...

Far from having been a pupil of Lenin's, 51-year-old Georgy Malenkov took no part in Lenin's 1917 Revolution or the bloody civil war that followed. According to the official Soviet account, Georgy Malenkov joined the party at 18, which sounds young enough. The fact is, he had sat prudently on the sidelines for two years (1918-20), though the Red army occupied his Ural home town of Orenburg; he enlisted under Lenin's banner only after the outcome...
