...Rockies' western slope. Early in the war, the Army, looking for a place to train its loth Mountain (ski) Division, picked Colorado for its crisp air, and powdery snow, and the Alpine grandeur of its slopes. As a result, a ski mecca with the world's longest ski lift (14,100 feet) will open this month at Aspen, formerly a quiet Colorado mining town. In Steamboat Springs, schools have begun ski-instruction courses, and three Big Seven Conference colleges (Colorado, Utah and Wyoming) have adopted skiing as a varsity sport. As far south as Albuquerque, ski tows...
...Berlin songs are among his best. Although "Dancing Cheek to Cheek" has lasted longest in the popular car, "What A Lovely Day To Get Caught In the Rain" zips along and bounces in up-to-date style, and "Top Hat" itself makes most current production numbers look like minor-leaguers...
...rose to fame on pre-World War I Broadway as the lovable Irish Peg in her husband J. Hartley Manners' hit comedy Peg o' My Heart; of a heart attack; in Manhattan.

Students who study Economics in 1946 may verify this by counting the pegs in the ceiling of the Economics room, pegs...
...Enfants du Paradis (Pathé-Tricolore) is the most ambitious, most expensive (about 60,000,000 francs) and longest (just under three hours) movie the French have thus far turned out (TIME, March 19, 1945). It is also probably the Frenchest. In production for three years and three months, most of the time during the German occupation, the film crackles with an undiluted Gallicism that is its most winning characteristic...
