...year-old Frank Hague wasted no time in gloating. With his old-fashioned starched collar tight above a chaste pearl stickpin, he went out to remind the people of his years of toil in their behalf. With revival-meeting fervor the Boss told his followers that he was still pure at heart: "Let them point to one blemish on my record as mayor of Jersey City!" Liberation Candidate Paul E. Dougherty almost blew a gasket. Cried he: "... On a salary of never more than $8,000 he can own a summer home worth $125,000, a home in Miami...
...singular, science-inspired visualizations enlivened Manhattan's super-surrealistic Art-of-this-Century gallery. Executed in brilliant, Van Gogh-like splashes of color, they show objects (mostly humans) as they might look if broken down to their cellular essentials. Likewise, they show Painter Paalen's idea of "pure spatial tensions" and "inner tensions of landscapes" (basi cally whorls and spirals). The net result: "plastic cosmogony" - which means, he says, "no longer a symbolization or interpretation but, through the specific means of art, a direct visualization of the forces which move our mind and body." Wolfgang Paalen not only...
Salome, Where She Danced (Universal) has got practically everything except the rise of Silas Lapham and the decline & fall of the Roman Empire, and there seems to be no reason except pure niggardliness that they should not have been worked in too.

...screen. But it has been neglected so long that it is as good as new. Combined with evocative sets and appropriate performance (by Lawrence Tierney, Edmund Lowe, Anne Jeffreys and others), and admirably terse, it provides a tinnily entertaining, cinematically energetic antidote to the two-hour doses of pure unflavored gelatin now alarmingly on the increase. Significantly, it was made quickly on very little money, as pictures go, and for a humble but reliable audience-the general equivalent of the audience which reads pulp magazines. Its overall cost was $150,000. It was shot in 21 days. The screen play...
...until Monday. The latter change is necessitated by the growing interference with WHDH, operating at 850. The change reverts the kilocycle number back to August, 1943, when due to faulty equipment, the station had to take over its present position on the radio dial. The change to WHCN was pure inspiration and will not cause any further changes...
