...Harvard Dramatic Club and the Veteran's Theatre Workshop seem to think there's nothing like a feud to fill the stands. The stunt is wearing thin, though, and readers of the daily communiques are beginning to wonder why both groups don't fold their flats and silently steal away to squabble in a small, warm, soundproofed room...
...Meetings" in the gym or the Greek Theater. He invites V.I.P.s in education, sport, politics and military affairs to headline the bill (top drawing cards: Philosopher John Dewey, the late football coach Knute Rockne). Introducing a student leader who had just been disciplined for raiding the Stanford campus to steal the traditional "Axe" before the Big Game, Sproul remarked at one meeting: "You all know Don McNary, who has represented this university officially many times and unofficially at least once." That sort of indulgent presidential view of their conduct makes a hit with Cal students, even more than Sproul...

Satisfied that he could have made it in that time, Jackie...
...break players effectively out of type (Agnes Moorehead, who usually plays embittered spinsters, does handsomely in a sexy role). The picture is greatly enriched through minor characters and minor incidents. As added frights, the doctor and the crook are such well-conceived, well-played parts that they practically steal the show. And just as Bogart is about ready to try for his final getaway, the question of whether two cops in a bus terminal are oblivious of him or waiting for him adds a realistic kind of suspense that is too seldom used in movies. This thriller is not quite...
