...sign of political spring as the news that onetime President Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin, who has been living in Miami since Boss Batista turned him out in January 1934, was proposing to return. Strong though General Menocal is, Dr. Grau, a deep Pink if not a real Red, is even stronger with the Cuban electorate, and Batista might welcome him back as an ally to stave off eclipse by the martial Menocal...
Outcasts of Poker Flat is a synthesis of three Bret Harte stories-the title piece, The Luck of Roaring Camp and The Idyl of Red Gulch. Though skimpily produced, it invokes with a fidelity unusual in a double-biller the wild land and rugged times in which its scene is laid, and the nostalgic charm of the Harte stories.

Equally silly are scenes in which the outcasts ride out in warm weather...
...Irish sea captain, George Peter Alexander Healy opened a studio in Boston when he was 18.

Faced with the choice of a two-minute penalty or a goal for his opponents, a shrewd hockey player will often chance the penalty, and this was exactly what Forward Herb Lewis of the Detroit Red Wings did last week when it looked as though Neil Colville of the New York Rangers had a clear shot at the Detroit goal. What happened in the next split second caused the liveliest controversy of the 1937 hockey season, probably settled its most important series...
...Referee Ion's decision had been a lucky break for the Red Wings, they deserved it because: 1) it was the first break they had had since the playoffs started, and 2) they were the better team. League leaders through the regular season, the Red Wings reached the playoffs handicapped by injuries to three of their best players, sustained two more in the playoffs when their star defenseman, Ebbie Goodfellow, and star goalie, Norman Smith, both went on the sidelines (TIME, April 5). A rookie team which nosed out the feeble Chicago Blackhawks for third place, the Rangers...
