...great enterprise might be the Teapot Dome of the Roosevelt Administration (TIME, March 14). So last week the three TVA directors appeared in Washington for their long threatened showdown before Representatives, Senators, Capital correspondents and the President of the U. S. By week's end the TVA family row, like the Great Boyg which oppressed Ibsen's hero Peer Gynt, was beginning to seem a tantalizing something at once too big to ignore and too shapeless to grasp...
...Anna Held in The Great Ziegfeld. Sandy, rough-cut Actor Spencer Tracy, recovering in a Los Angeles hospital from a hernia operation, wept when told he had won. Last year's Oscar to Actor Paul Muni (Louis Pasteur) disappointed many who thought Actor Tracy deserved it for a row of consistently fine jobs (among them: Father Tim in San Francisco, Joe Wilson in Fury).

He has been working out in the third row of the scrum and looks like a good candidate for that position. However, Bob Downes, Varsity guard, is right in there, and there is always the possibility that Cummings and Gephart may be shifted. Neither Bennett or Downes have played rugby before this year, but they are expected to learn fast in the two weeks that remain...
