...issues cropped up. Admiral Joy beefed up his inspection proposal by suggesting that air patrols as well as ground teams should be provided for. The Reds demanded the right not only to repair existing airfields in North Korea, but to construct new ones during the armistice period. Their argument: "wanton bombing" by the U.N. had deprived them of adequate air defenses. In spite of two roaring stoves in the conference tent, the air was chilly with frigid language and stale with monotonous repetition. Admiral Joy said that U.N. forces were willing to be inspected, and asked a simple question...
Ballerina Hayden's violent wanton was a triumph; Hugh Laing played the mandarin with implacable simplicity. Without Bartok's superb score, Mandarin might have been merely a mediocre and rather crass affair, but the crashing, nervous music had kept the emotional pitch high and tight. As a result, the audience was too preoccupied to worry much about a few tag ends of murky symbolism that Choreographer Todd Bolender had worked in, e.g., a blind girl who wanders fitfully about the stage for most of the final scene...

Direct military purchases are the smallest part...
Hard, Fast and Beautiful (Filmakers; RKO Radio), a title that conjures up visions of a wanton wench on the marquee, turns out to apply to nothing more alluring than a tennis ball. The heroine (Sally Forrest) is a teen-aged tennis virtuoso whose selfish, frustrated mother (Claire Trevor) exploits the girl's talent to wangle a life of ease, travel and glamour...
