Last week the American Newspaper Guild's seven-month strike of 24 editorial workers against William Randolph Hearst's Milwaukee Wisconsin News came to a peaceful conclusion. Only twelve Guildmen had stuck it out since the February walkout. In Manhattan, General Manager Harry M. Bitner of the Hearstpapers insisted: "The Wisconsin News has accorded no recognition . . . made no settlement with the Guild. The Guild has simply called off its strike."

...posted on the subject the details of Actor Robert Taylor's profile seen from the right. When Actor Taylor, functioning as Lieutenant Timberlake, has been removed from the proceedings by heroic death in action, the picture gathers pace. The idealistic love of Peggy (Joan Crawford) for Senator John Randolph (Melvyn Douglas); her marriage to Eaton (Franchot Tone); and her single-minded devotion to President Jackson (Lionel Barrymore) form a pattern which balances in entertainment whatever it may lack in educational value. Surrounded by youthful matinee idols who seem a shade too chipper in the roles of mature statesmen, Lionel...
