Dutchmen heard the German theorists passing overhead to their laboratory, the North Sea. High-flying bombers, moving above the autumn lanes of migratory wildfowl, but in the opposite direction, sought out a squadron of the British Navy which they evidently knew was out maneuvering in open water, or which they just happened to find there. Weather favored the fliers when they located their targets: clouds low enough to afford a screen for the dive bombers to come down through, yet not so solid but that heavy, non-diving bombers could drop "stuff" from far aloft through cloud holes...
...when a youthful bar-comber, handsome, down-&-out U. S. engineer Bill Gregory (Robert Cummings), insults Singer Irene, she falls in love with him. Her love saves Bill from his gin-&-bitter end, sets him to piping pure water from the hills (for the peons).

The Freudian knot is cut by Dirk, who grapples with Paul when he tries to shoot Irene, inadvertently makes...

At the end of 24 hours the worms in the heated juice and the salt water were "very lively and active." But those in the fresh pineapple juice were "completely digested" (dead). Reason: fresh pineapple juice contains an enzyme, or ferment, which acts like a corrosive acid on worms...
Artist Brockhurst's portraits have the bloom and precise brushwork of the Umbrian school of Italian painters. The figures are serene, meticulously painted against quiet-colored Tuscan landscapes of rolling hills, flowing water, umbrella pines. But posterity is in no danger of mistaking the nationality of his subjects. Brock-hurst's Americans are American, his English sitters unmistakably English. Suavest of his U. S. portraits is that of Mrs. Paul Mellon, the Vassar graduate and divorcee whom Banker Andrew's only son married in 1935.* His drawings and etchings show the same care for line and texture...
