...Rainmaker (Hal Wollis; Paramount). Most modern audiences seem to enjoy a good sermon-as long as it preaches what they practice. They are also increasingly symbol-minded-provided the symbols do not excite the mental so much as the sentimental faculties ("It isn't enough that boy meets girl," one playwright complained.

These men showed tremendous spirit, and Shaunessy's play in the line almost singularly forced the Blue outside. Inside the ends, the Crimson was very tough, although it did suffer a tough break when center Marv Lebovitz had to leave the game early with an injury...
