Probably 50 percent of the coaches wear again some item of clothing they had worn at a winning meet. Typical examples are Hal Ulen and Bill Brooks, who coach the varsity and freshman swimming teams respectively. Ulen restricts himself to repeating a tie, but Brooks will repeat his entire outfit...
Producer-Director George Cooper Stevens, 48, is a perfectionist who came up an odd way: at 19, he was the youngest cameraman in Hollywood, and his specialty was comedy (including 60 or more Laurel & Hardy and Harry Langdon shorts).

With few close-ups, the camera prowls the squalid little home of the Delaneys like a fascinated eavesdropper. It hides at the bottom of the stairs and catches the plump disarray of Lola as she wanders sleepily down to answer the door-bell; it watches the young boarder...
