...Alexander II and Princess Dolgoruki is told tenderly and tearfully in "Katia," the new French film at the Fine Arts. A gushing romance not entirely free from 10c novellette effects, "Katia" manages to stir up cavalier emotions in an audience hardened by Clark Gable and Joan Crawford. Despite its shallow "profundity" qui est tres francais, the dialogue sounds surprisingly convincing in the mouths of Alexander and his entourage, who achieved movie sentimentality even before the invention of celluloid. By no means historically faithful, "Katia" catches the spirit of the era it depicts--perhaps because Alexandrine Russia was still so desperately...
Other returning first place winners include Fred West of Cornell in the shot put, Bill Shallow of Harvard, who set a new meet record of 55 feet 5 inches a year ago, in the 35-pound weight throw, and Donald Blount of Dartmouth in the broad jump. Blount also tied for first place in the high jump and Tom Lussen of Yale tied for first in the pole vault...
...Island (by Elmer Rice; produced by The Playwrights' Company) is fiery Elmer Rice in unembattled mood, painting a gaudy picture of Manhattan, telling the story of youth's slow struggle and love's young dream.

They do not meet till the start of Act III, but the end of Act III runs true to form...
George Downing, Nat Mendell, and Howard Hurd will carry on in the field events; Bill Shallow and Tom White heaved a mean weight last year, but White is not expected to compete for a while. Gil Aertsen won't do any high jumping until the robin comes around, but Bob Partlow will be reaching for the cage ceiling all winter...
...Bothnian Sea, Finland revealed that it had laid mines-illegally, but without eliciting complaint from the only legally interested party, Sweden. Russian ships shelled Viipuri and moved out through the Gulf past Helsinki to attack Hangö, "The Baltic Gibraltar." Finland's little fleet, centred around the shallow-draft pocket-battleships Vainamoinen and Ilmarinen moved cautiously to meet them. An attempted landing was repelled at Porvoo. When the Red ships came within range, the fortress at Russarö guarding Hangö opened fire. One Soviet destroyer was reported sunk, one damaged and the new cruiser Kirov so badly punched...
