Last week, as Paris polished its sneers on the eve of a new tourist season, Ranville and his undaunted knights launched a nationwide eight-day "Crusade of Amiability." The national post office issued a special postmark to commemorate the occasion. Schoolchildren gathered in a shivering rain at the Arc de Triomphe to release hundreds of tricolored balloons carrying the message of bonhomie. A squad of pretty girls scoured Paris looking for outstanding examples of courtesy, and that ancient charmer, Maurice Chevalier himself, cut a symbolic ribbon to release the tide of amiability that promised to engulf the land. Even France...
...railway through the most populous areas of Canada, and some 4,000 miles of branch lines into the northern U.S. Midwest. C.P.R. telegraphs, grain elevators, stockyards and abattoirs border the tracks. At principal stops are C.P.R.'s 15 hotels, including Quebec's famed Chateau Frontenac and the tourist meccas at Banff and Lake Louise. The company operates a fleet of ocean-going liners and freighters, as well as Canadian Pacific Air Lines, with routes to Asia, Australia, Latin America and Europe. C.P.R. also controls Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co., the world's biggest lead and zinc producer, coal...
...Other Side. In the U.S. reservation clerks and travel agents were hard pressed to keep up with jingling telephones and lines at the ticket counters. Though airline tickets on first-class nights abroad are still in fair supply, tourist flights have been almost sold out. TWA's tourist nights for June are 85% booked, and Pan American's tourist runs are reserved from 60 to 90 days ahead. Ocean liners are even more popular. The U.S. Lines' 1,700-passenger United States and 950-passenger America are booked solid for all tourist and cabin classes until August...
...generals, admirals and secretaries is a little overpowering for a girl." But her burble with the Brass was only one of the quick trips through which Arlene whirled her Home audience (weekdays, 11 a.m., NBC) in a five-day visit to Washington. There were breathless stops at all the tourist musts-the Lincoln Memorial, Supreme Court, Smithsonian Institution, National Gallery of Art and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Every few minutes, up to eight times an hour, reverence for the nation's shrines had somehow to be combined with the bread-and-butter necessity of working in commercials...
...middle of the desert--is no drawback in this case. The language of his characters is fast, vigorous, and funny, and the denouement is grotesquely original. In the cast, Fred Mueller as the Apache, Harry Bingham as the Hipster, James Rieger as the Poetman, and Earle Edgerton as the Tourist are superb caricatures, while Clare Fooshee and Mary MacGregor as Mrs. Kindhead and the Radcliffe student provided an equally amusing female contingent. There is a slightly grating moment when the Apache becomes too obviously a mouthpiece in declaring that this hung-up age cannot exist without jazz...
