...sentimental little comedy. Screenwriters Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich have gone further, using the sound frame of O'Neill's drama as the basis for a period pastiche. It is all there, for people who can think back 30 years: the band concert on the common; the tandem bicycles, shirtwaist watches, lemonade and porch swings; the crested brewery horses, prancing to the political club picnic on the Fourth of July; the bombardment of firecrackers which on that date turned the streets of every U. S. city into miniature battlefields. But even those who do not know what...
...colleagues unanimously liked best the Bay City Four (a teacher, a cashier, a clerk, a statistician) from Brooklyn. These young singers slicked their hair over their foreheads, put on high collars, white trousers, "dink" caps, and orange-&-black blazers, rolled gaily into Central Park on two tandem bicycles.

John Loving married his wife (Selena Royle) when, distraught...
...ships, cream of 96 tested for the expedition, are Savoia-Marchetti S-55 hydroplanos* similar to those of the South Atlantic flight, great twin-hulled affairs with the pilots' compartment housed in a bridge between the hulls. Mounted above the bridge are two Isotta-Fraschini engines in tandem, each driving with 800 h.p. a three-bladed propeller. Cruising speed: 137 m.p.h. Cruising range...
