...very end even though the performance may not be A-1 in every respect. Programs by professional musicians of the calibre of Mrs. French are fairly plentiful in Boston, and the frequent concerts by both amateurs and professionals around the College-such as the excellent recital by Rulon Robinson in Paine Hall yesterday--are often both interesting and well performed. These small concerts really do not receive the attention they merit. There is plenty of room for reform in the concert-planing of most musicians, but even a large part of that music which is receiving attention from musicians...
...scholarly, war-impoverished Tennessee slaveholder, stringy, hard-jawed Hatton Sumners, 63, is a self-taught authority on law and history (specialty: the 13th Century). When he rises to speak, the House hushes. On an automobile ride in 1937 with the late Majority Leader Joe Robinson, Speaker Bankhead, Majority Leader Sam Rayburn and Senator Ashurst, he announced the first serious opposition to President Roosevelt's plan for altering the Supreme Court by saying: "Boys, here's where I cash in."

Under the 1938 Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, this practice is illegal. To comply with the Act, which goes into effect next June, Robinson patients will have to come to Mount Gilead for treatment...
...very best trimmings. Though not up to Wuthering Heights (TIME, April 17), it is one of the best star vehicles Hollywood has produced this year. As a play, it was not a success when Tallulah Bankhead took it to Broadway four years ago. Refashioned by Screenwriter Casey Robinson to fit Bette Davis, Warners' most talented and ambitious star, it gives her a chance to do a good job and puts her well up in line for her third Academy Award...
