...Red, Hot and Blue (Paramount) is musical slapstick featuring Betty Hutton who, given a few comic situations and lively rhythms, appears to be a fissionable element exploding into energy and noise...
...over a cut in fourth-quarter earnings from the steel and coal strikes. Some had been hard hit already. Of 47 railroads reporting so far, only two (Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, and the Bangor & Aroostook) showed a gain for the first nine months over 1948. Some were in the red (e.g., Pennsylvania's September loss of $2.7 million put it in the red for the first nine months, v. a $20.4 million profit in 1948), and a bad third quarter put all the rest down anywhere from 15% to 75% for the nine months. Among the coal companies, earnings...
Even before the strike, overall steel profits had begun to slip. Though U.S. Steel's third-quarter profits were up 13% from a year ago and Bethlehem's up 1.9%, Allegheny Ludlum was in the red, Republic and Inland's nets were off 23%, Jones & Laughlin's 44%, and ten other companies showed corresponding decreases. Nearly all the oil companies were down and many another industry showed a turndown when compared with 1948's third quarter, an alltime record...
Stroock & Co. had hardly wiped off the red ink from two bad years when Mrs. Murphy went to work. A graduate of Spring Valley (N.Y.) High School and Manhattan's Lusk Institute (now defunct), she learned fashion and fabrics by going to night school and hobnobbing with Manhattan's Seventh Avenue garment makers. Soon she was designing new weaves and color combinations and plugging the fleecy fabrics that go into the "Stroock Look." She was put in charge of advertising and publicity; when war came she helped supervise the company's mill at Newburgh, N.Y., was made...
...seedy melodrama jerry-built from bits & pieces of half a dozen old Humphrey Bogart thrillers. The movie's weary, grey air is due to its stolid dependence on what has become a Bogart stencil; as a scowling rebel who just wants to be left alone by laws, red tape and good works, half-villain Hero Bogart is repeatedly maneuvered by his better nature into warring against evil. In his recent Key Largo, the malevolent-browed hero blocked the return of Capone-style gangsterism to the U.S., and in the soon-to-be-released Chain Lightning his visionary test-piloting...
