Springtin1e in Manhattan

raindrops Baseball CAB invad-
ing war dialogues The we'll
sharpened notes of warbling birds
giving happiness a sound track .
Islands of defeat scattered around
town where sunshine only magnifes
its poverty A gray-eyed sky
clearing the thunder in its throat and
displaying its white-fanged lightning
-. Playful breezes juggling the an
cient weathervane atop St. Paups
Cathedral The shy rustic of
balmy winds caressing faces with
invisible baby fingers.
The Hudson River cobwebbed with
streaks of cleaning sunlight .
Shop windows glowing with Spring
finery composing visual poetry of
vivid hueS . Sunrise lighting a
fiery dawn on the stub of a warm
night Brisk winds brushing the
last few dead leaves from trees as
nature weaves its annual green
gown around them Relaxed
humans anchored to park benches
allowing contentment to find home
in their spirits A soldier stroll
ing with his girl Workers
eagerly slipping lungs full of anti
septic air before plunging into sub
way dungeons . . The everlasting
beauty of twilight balanced on the
fingertips of departing day.
The Magic Lanterns: "See Here,
Private Hargrove" is loaded with
familiar comedy gags, but it's got
so doggone much good feeling that
you skip the stencils. Besides, it's
got pair of likable lads-Robert
Walker and Keenan, Wynn-as the
rockies, and Donna Reed as the
locke 1.-THE Fighting Seabees,"
means to be back-slap for that
useful arm of the military, but some
times the praise gets gibbery. The
thing is too Hollywood-favored to
look like war 1.-THE Heavenly
Body" does not refer to Hedy La
MARI, who's in it. The title comes
from VIM. Powell's monkeying with
the stars. Sometimes the going gets
funny, but too often you can almost
hear Powell's suspenders give from
the strain of carrying the frail tale
"Tunisian Victory" action
shots by the USA and British cam
eras, records some lovely shots Of
the Rats on the run, than which
there is nothing more entertaining.
It's simple to spot debater on a
radio forum who has lost the argu-
ment He's the first to lose his
temper Have a nifty innova-
ton: The recordings of Dorothy
Parker's witty monologs-by stage
stars Some critics objected to
fine film, 1.-The Purple Heart" be-
cause, they complained, it made US
hate Japs All right, doctor.
I'll go quietly Add invitations
to murder: Swingsters who mangle
the gay "Oklahoma" lifts The
war film, "Tunisian Victory" is the
best yet. Keeps you sitting on the
edge of your suspense Variety
reports that Movieburg is losing in
terest in bandleaders because they
lack acting ability Sure took
H'wood a long time to find it out
-. If the film biz depended on act
ing ability Hollywood would have
only one actor-Spencer T.
Good to see Fred Allen climbing
in the popularity surveys . He's
one radio jester who makes an hon.
est stab at trying something original
Gamblers about midtown are
wagering the war'll be over in Yur-
rop by July 4th Might be
good way to win the bet-by getting
into the fracas and helping fight it
Here's a repeat boost for Ben
Hecht's exciting book: "A Guide for
the Bedevilled" Don't miss it
it'll make you a better American
The jokes that helped kill
vaudeville are now making radio
writer's wealthy and famous.
Elastic fingers of sunlight reach
ing into shadowy skyscraper can
yons Children bubbling with
appiness-fnding thrilling adven-
lures in the fairyland of youth
Fresh air fiends draped across park
lawns getting kick out of breathing
Romancers driving out fears
of insecurity around them with a
personal fortress of blue skies and
rainboWs The cool kindness of
Spring mornings that drain the ache
from peoples souls and inspire them
to attack problems of the day like
a conquering hero . Spring busly
nursing the trees and flowers that
patiently waited for her during the
bitter Winter months The for
est fire of noise that blazcs along the
Main Stem, destroying the silky
calm the season brings Lovely
stenogs discussing their sweethearts
during lunch hour, putting a period
at the end of each sentence, with a
dimple.

River: A private park where chill
