...Varsity Lacrosse team came through yesterday with a 5-2 victory over M.I.T. The players showed a great improvement in stick-handling over last week's game, especially on the part of Wally Fenn, Bill Ierardi, George Hanford and Captain Doug Anderson...
...Lady Eve" has just enough of both slap-stick and character acting to make it a super-streamlised example of the plot-dialogue comedy. Barbara Stanwick can talk as fast as Miss Russell and vary her moods at a pace that approaches La Hepburn.

For whenever I hear him on a record, I can't help thinking of a sort of easygoing bum walking down a side street, leisurely kicking at stones in the road, occasionally running a stick along a picket fence for a machine-gun effect, and now and then humming snatches of some-silly tune that he happens to like. It's as if he chanced to be walking by the studio when some-one poked his head out of the door and said, "Hey, you. Carmen...
