Plenty of sound, solid flesh is what ample Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands thinks should be on Crown Princess Juliana. From this opinion many a prospective royal suitor of past years differed and so did the jolly Princess, who used to make wry jokes about the thickness of her calves (TIME, Aug. 12, 1935). Last week portly matrons of The Hague dithered as the Crown Princess returned from her three-month honeymoon radiant and 23 lb. lighter. She and slim, sporting Prince Consort "Benno." who knows his way around Europe's swank pleasure spots, were said on their honeymoon...
Aside from the beauty of its speech and the power of its story, The Fall of the City proved to most listeners that the radio, which conveys only sound, is science's gift to poetry and poetic drama, that 30 minutes is an ideal time for a verse play, that artistically radio is ready to come of age, for in the hands of a master a $10 receiving set can become a living theatre, its loudspeaker a national proscenium...
...Bernie. The Brande moral emerges in the person of a modest little vaudeville actor named Eddie Kane (Jack Haley), brother of Winchell's secretary Patsy Kane (Patsy Kelly), who, when his sister gets him a radio audition, is so terrified of the microphone that he cannot make a sound.

And his practical suggestions for clearing the jungle are likely to strike his hearers as more furious than sound: "I know a way out, if you want one. Let the conduits of 'information' and 'news' be placed in the hands of philosophers and men of science. For instance, give the dailies to the metaphysicians; the weeklies to the psychologists, the radio and movies to experts...
...novels laid in the Pacific Northwest have substituted an ironic for a sentimental meaning in calling that part of the country "The Charmed Land." In The Laurels Are Cut Down, Author Binns attempts for the first time, in telling the story of two brothers who grew up on Puget Sound at the Century's turn, to trace the rise of that disillusionment. Readers who found his Lightship a talented and dramatic performance will not be disappointed in Archie Binns's second novel, may think it a good candidate for the Pulitzer Prize...
