...supermen for puny Herr Himmler. 55 marriages-the bride's physical qualifications and racial background are thoroughly investigated-were once surrounded with Druidic ceremonies to impress the young couple with the ancient background of their Teutonic destiny. 55 colonies for young married couples are made attractive breeding grounds. Smart Herr Himmler has made his police service not only a service but a cult...
...Smart stickwork by Lupien started the Crimson on their eight run rally in the tenth. Both infield and outfield were playing deep when Lupe dropped a bunt and beat it out.

Those who cringe at the mere mention of sentimentality are not gong to enjoy "Three smart Girls Grow Up," for there are the inevitable "intimate" bedroom scenes, tear-besmirched love affairs, and deep, dark young-girl secrets. But the sentiment is seasoned with humor-as, indeed, the whole film is; Charles Winninger, a hopelessly absentminded Wall Street begwig, is constantly funny, and Deanna herself...
