...previously mentioned Miss O'Connell, we must admit, can't be judged objectively here. But in any band's land, she is good-looking, has lots of genuine personality and charm, and sings very well. We think that she is much better than that--in fact, we'd rank her right under Mildred Bailey, but we would be accused of prejudice. Point remains that here is the band that anyone of any taste can listen to and like, and that is something that Jimmy can not only be proud of, but from which he is going to make...
...Bolshevik No. 2 did the big talking in Moscow last week. He is broad-shouldered, bushy-mustached, pince-nezed Premier Viacheslav Molotov who looks something like the late Theodore Roosevelt, stutters explosively. Last week, when the Supreme Soviet or Russian Congress met in extraordinary session to admit new delegates from the slice of Poland taken by Dictator Stalin, curiosity was rife as to whether Orator Molotov would again, as in 1937, have to make three great efforts before his speech impediment would permit him to utter the most important cry in Russia: "Long live Comrade Sssssss. . . .

But last week, at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter in the North Shore Chicago suburb of Kenilworth, school children gathered about the tomb of Eugene Field on the day before the 44th anniversary of his death. A Boy Scout and a Girl Scout laid wreaths...
...stupidly lying-as when they insisted the Ark Royal had been sunk, even though a U. S. naval attache lunched aboard her and found differently-they have artlessly suppressed information which would on the whole have done their cause good rather than harm. Last week Germany had yet to admit the loss of even one submarine in seven weeks' warfare...
...season, Louisiana State and Alabama overpowered Holy Cross and Fordham-two of the East's most powerful teams. The following week, Tulane trimmed Fordham and North Carolina trounced New York University, a less touted but promising outfit. By last week even the proudest Northerners had to admit that football was acquiring a decided Southern accent. A little grudgingly they conceded that the most outstanding game of the week was not in Yale's hallowed Bowl, not in Minnesota's famed Stadium nor Los Angeles' vast Coliseum, but in the shadow of the Smoky Mountains at Knoxville...
