Jubilee is something new in Roman Catholic publishing in the U.S.-a good upper-middlebrow monthly that cuts a path of its own between the intellectual themes of such small-circulation magazines as Commonweal and the Catholic World and the folksy but heavy-handed news-plus-doctrine of the average diocesan weekly. In its neat packages of pictures and text, Jubilee can equally well explain the dogma of the Assumption, illustrate the life and work of modern Catholic artists like the late Eric Gill, discuss historical figures like the Venerable Bede, or give its readers a handy briefing...
...from west to east like to keep in the Gulf Stream, which increases their speed by a knot or so at no cost. Pan American's Stratocruisers, flying from Tokyo to Honolulu, are taking the same advantage of the "jet stream," which is the Gulf Stream of the upper air. Last week one of Pan Am's clippers made the Tokyo-Honolulu run in a record 9 hr. 18 min. Its average, point-to-point speed was 422 rn.p.h., and 123 m.p.h. was a gift of the friendly jet stream...

A Reuters correspondent...
...Great Diamond Robbery(M-G-M) is Red Skelton's second attempt in as many pictures to play it straight. If he had succeeded, The Great Diamond Robbery might have been an even more amusing picture than Half a Hero (TIME, Nov. 9). Instead, the stiff upper lip of a surprisingly mature wit goes into a maudlin flap of baby talk before the end of the first reel. Nevertheless, the plot is so neatly stacked, and the rest of the players so well handled by Director Robert Z. Leonard, that the moviegoer gets a pretty good deal...
