Love Walks In. Bill O'Dwyer paid no attention. Instead he introduced Love into the campaign, by admitting that he was sweet on a handsome brunette style consultant named Sloan Simpson. When asked if they were to be married, he beamed and whistled the opening bars of Some Enchanted Evening. The results were spectacular. The newspapers bloomed with pictures of the smiling couple, and ran columns of saccharine speculation on the great romance...
...Ties & Syncopation. At last week's convention Stamps-Baxter was much in evidence. One of its quartets, in blue suits and red ties, brought down the house with four new Stamps-Baxter songs: I'm Having a Good Time Here, Dreaming, with a falsetto blues-style solo, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, with new words and music,* and Far Above the Starry Sky.

They used the bounce pass almost exclusively, scooted under and around the Oklahomans who were runners-up for the A.A.U. championship last year, actually beat them (55-46) in the second of three games (the Oilers had won the first, 38-29).

...Bogart stencil; as a scowling rebel who just wants to be left alone by laws, red tape and good works, half-villain Hero Bogart is repeatedly maneuvered by his better nature into warring against evil. In his recent Key Largo, the malevolent-browed hero blocked the return of Capone-style gangsterism to the U.S., and in the soon-to-be-released Chain Lightning his visionary test-piloting insures the safety of kids who will fly jet-propelled airplanes. In Tokyo, he foils the resurgence of Japanese militarism...
...Harvard center forward position, Coach Bruce Munro tired a new plan, alternating Jim Bell and Drehmel. The project met with some degree of success, for Drehmel's feeding style was a sharp--and confusing--contract to Bell's crashing, pounding style...
