Before Captain Rolland takes command of his ship, a grave-eyed girl named Genèvieve takes command of the captain. They marry and he takes her to sea with him. A few days out, Genvèieve gets seasick and stays seasick. Rolland, who is a different man at sea from what he is ashore, pooh-poohs her illness and sticks to the deck. Even when the first mate pleads with Rolland to land the sick woman, Rolland refuses. It takes him 20 days to round the Horn, and in that time he comes to know that...
Another pianist, Walter Gieseking, has a horror of looking up from the keyboard and seeing somebody swaying in time to the music. Totten's suggested explanation: "It might make him seasick." The late great Tenor John McCormack "thought flowers were unmanly," and delivered himself of some spluttering Irish oaths when he was once pelted with roses.

...Limits (Paramount) casts durable Funnyman Bob Hope as a prizefight manager turned military policeman. Hope tangles with a frozen-faced sergeant (Eddie Mayehoff) and an apoplectic general, gets seasick watching his protege, MP Mickey Rooney, box on board a battleship, masterminds a championship fight via walkie-talkie and falls for Rooney's beautiful aunt (Marilyn Maxwell), easily the best-looking aunt of the year.

I am a legitimate exporter and nylon manufacturer, and the worst offense I have ever been guilty of was traffic violations...
...chance to judge for themselves. At a Manhattan gallery, 36 of Hasan's paintings were on exhibit-delightful studies of musicians, kings, carousels and clowns-as bright and intricate as fine Turkish rugs. Hasan's color effects are strong, to say the least: blood red and seasick green, harlequin combinations of yellow, black, mauve and blue. His figures are tortured and twisted: grinning, round-faced peasants with shark's teeth, haunted, droopy-eyed old women, a wheel-shaped nightmare of a sea captain. On opening day, five of the pictures were snapped up and the gallery...
