...Vermilye Medal, named for Donor William Moorhead Vermilye, vice president of Manhattan's National City Bank. The first recipient: Lewis Herold Brown, handsome (see cut) young (45) president of big Johns-Manville Corp. (building materials, etc.). Until the presentation ceremony two weeks hence, the Institute will not reveal its bill of particulars in favor of Mr. Brown. It hardly needs to then...
Star photographs made at the Harvard astronomy station in South Africa reveal an unusual distribution of Cepheid variable stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, neighbor star system of the Milky Way. There is a "peculiar concentration" of the larger, longer-period Cepheid variable stars in regions where the star population is dense, Shapley said. Cepheids fluctuate in brightness in periods ranging from a few hours to about fifty days; their mass is four to five times that...
...random choice of almost any group of compositions, such as the program for the Sanders Theatre concert this week, is almost sure to reveal numerous influences of dance music, both direct and indirect.

The names that people give to things reveal what they think about them, and the name that the U. S. gave to its crisis was the ringing and melodramatic Crash...
...slow-moving; and the present production brings out the worst in it. Where the original company gave it the lift that a fine orchestra can give to a fairly good piece of music, the present company gives it the drubbing of a high-school band. Pathetic gags meant to reveal the simple natures of the characters are played for comedy lines. June Walker is a likable if unimpressive heroine, but Giuseppe Sterni's only virtue is his authentic Italian accent, and the Napa Valley is not the part of California where Cinemactor Douglass Montgomery is most at home...
