...Navy Comes Through (RKO-Radio). This run-of-the-mine slambanger comes through hell on three levels (sea, air and subsea) and large quantities of high water (the North Atlantic) while telling the simple story of the Sybil Gray, a munitions-laden laggard from a United Nations convoy. It comes through the mutual animosities of Chief Petty Officer Pat O'Brien and disgraced, re-enlisted Sailor George Murphy so predictably that by the picture's end they are brothers-in-law (with the help of Nurse Jane Wyatt). It also comes through at the seams, so abundantly that...
...cinemactors. There is a gallant young Cuban (Desi Arnaz) who recites: "Your contry made my contry free, now I make your contry free." There is a comedy gob, his mouth all corners, who keeps tuning in on the Dodgers, though any radio aboard would have been sealed* before the Sybil Gray sailed. There is a radio-tinker on whose set the Nazi code is at last unscrambled, bringing warning to his ship, danger to the enemy...

This week, before an opening-night audience glittering with Cabinet members, Ambassadors, Senators, Washington Society folk, Actress Rainer made her U. S. stage debut. Her role was the fattest and most formidable, for a woman, in the modern repertory-one which had taxed Dame Sybil Thorndike, Winifred Lenihan, Katharine Cornell. It overtaxed Actress Rainer. Frail and flowerlike, her straight dark hair falling about her face, she was the most appealing of all Saint Joans, and the feeblest...
When a cow produces 1,000 lbs. of butterfat in a year, that is good news for her owner, big news for dairymen. Last week the American Jersey Cattle Club was celebrating the biggest news yet: a new world's butterfat champion. Six-year-old, 1,000-lb. Sybil Tessie Lorna 996685, a Jersey owned by L. A. Hulbert of Independence, Ore., had produced 17,121 lbs. of milk in the official 305-day test period, enough butterfat to outweigh herself by 20 lbs. Previous holder of the all-breed record was Aaltje Salo Hengerveld Segis 823991, a Vermont...
