Everything Happens at Night (20th Century-Fox) continues prudent but so far rather unproductive efforts to turn Sonja Henie into a dramatic actress against the day when even Henie fans may tire of seeing Henie skate.

Moreover, they discovered that some mice could be made immune by shooting into them leukemic cells inactivated by mild heat (115° F.). So far, this work has not produced a cure for leukemia in man, but may lead to one eventually...
