...principal is surprised when one of the girls, pretty Mary Clay (Lana Turner) comes back to the classroom to get a vanity case she has forgotten. At the town cemetery, the show-going old Governor pays sincere tribute to the dead and is sardonically congratulated by the steel-trap district attorney who is jealous of his job. All this is so much in the routine of a hot spring afternoon, that the best thing the town's star reporter (Allyn Joslyn) can think of to do when he drops inat police headquarters after writing his parade story...

As Captain Hagen excitedly chewed a cigaret on the sideline, Sarazen heroically lifted his ball safely over the bunker to the green, halved the hole. He halved the next one, too, then drove calmly between the dunes, pitched to the green, holed out in 4 to equal Alliss and clinch...

London rumors had high naval officers in Berlin protesting to Der Führer that in sending his best ships into Mediterranean waters dominated by France and Britain he was risking that they might be "trapped." If there were such protests, Adolf Hitler ignored them, relying upon heavy concentrations of Italian warships off the Balearics and Eastern Spain to wreck any trap which French naval concentrations at more distant Toulon and Bone might conceivably try to spring...
