...honors of its famous Art Academy with Scandinavian Modern Architect Eliel Saarinen. Sculptor Milles teaches, but goes on hewing and casting too. Says he, of his bold, agonized, monumental figures: "You see their faces are ugly. That is why they didn't like me in Sweden. I like salt in their faces. I do not like prettiness in figures. It is all right by a charming woman...
Tugboat Annie Sails Again (Warner) revives the hardheaded, soft-hearted old salt who, in her Satevepost exploits, bulldozes the boys around Tacoma's water front. Seasoned, frog-voiced Marjorie Rambeau puts on Marie Dressler's costume; villainized, kinky-haired Alan Hale plays the Wallace Beery part of Bullwinkle, Annie's rival. Like all good skates on the screen, Annie builds herself a heap of trouble before she rescues the mortgage and gets the young folks (Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman) together for a happy ending. The result is passable, not irresistible...

All hands were dead-the two pilots, the stewardess, seven passengers...
...Salt Lake City flew Civil Aeronautics Board men to investigate the second crash on U. S. airlines in 65 days-after a 17-month period in which not a single life was lost. But Pilot Fey's flying friends thought they already knew the answer. The beam must have failed just as he turned off into the "A" zone to head south. Angling back on to the steady hum of the beam before heading south to the airport, he should have heard the cheeping dot-dash of the "A" until he picked up the steady hum of the course...
