Last week Mysterious Montague descended abruptly from fiction to reality. At Los Angeles' Lakeside Club, freelance Photographer Bob Wallace trailed him onto the golf course, hid in a clump of bushes, snapped him twice with a telephoto lens, as he was putting and as he was marching down the fairway, niblick in hand. After taking the pictures, Photographer Wallace handed the film to his brother, popped a dummy magazine into his camera.

...complain that the automobile industry is a sweated one. Always famed for comparatively high daily pay, it has since 1935 materially increased its workers' yearly earnings by introducing new models in November instead of January, thus leveling off its concentrated production periods and corresponding layoffs.

...Pennies From Heaven," on the other hand, is about as thoroughly insipid a bit of sentimentality as we have encountered in a long time. Based on an ancient theory that an actor already firmly established as a feminine drawing card, will be twice as appealing in company with a small child, Columbia saddles Mr. Crosby with a weepy, tear-stained child named Edith Fellows...
