With devastating thoroughness
Dewey went on 10 reveal the mis-
deeds of this Tammanyite and

men working on MarinelliS record
for months. In preparation of
his speech he worked over their
material for II hours in company
with seven lawyers, two of whom
were experts on libel.

other Democratic leaders was

You know 1t will, though. A play
wright can get away with murder

ence what 1t wants in the third.
Sure, audiences are still conven-
tional at heart. Maybe it is the
nineteen-forties, maybe people will
laugh at anything, but underneath
they're like their grandparents were.
Sure, I noticed how that little old
lady was laughing. suppose

Let me tell you something. Just
before I left The Star this after

Sights and sounds:
Here's an odd one from Holly
woods current booking calendar
Most OF the finest pictures Of 1914
have been released to theaters dur
Ing the hottest days Of the year
The flow Of big pictures during
July and August has been unprece-
dented.
1t wasn't SO many summers back
that the reverse was the rule. The
bad ones were held up for months
just so they could be pawned OF on
the movie houses during the steam
ing period when no one bothered
to 60 near a theater any way.
Nowadays, Of course, the cooling
systems have changed all that, but
certainly not enough to warrant
such an overwhelming flow of supers
as the fans are now witnessing. It
actually begins to appear as though
the cooler months will be the bar
rem ones for the high-class product
hereafter.
The real tip-on on this strange
situation is that many of the acad-
emy award winners Of 1945 will
spring from movies released be-
tween June l and September /,
1914. No one ever heard OF such
q thing IN the past.
For one, there's Wilson" Ex-
Iperts agree that Wilson" not onlv
may win the best picture award but
1t stands q fine chance Of returning
Alexander Knox as best actor and
Henry King as best director.
And II contention is needed
there's plenty of 1t. Going NV
Way" another hot-weather num-
per, Is scoring a sensational hit
everywhere. It will be Paramount's
leading grosser Of the year. The
best supporting actor Of the year
may be drawn from It's cast in the
person of little Barry Fitzgerald, the
crabby but lovable priest. MANY
believe 1t could be named best pic
ture.
You'd 60 far in any year to find
more suspense packed melodrama
than Double Indemnity" which
so FAR has made everybody forget
about the heat. The director. Billy
Wilder, could be cited and so could
the picture and the performance of
Barbara Stanwyck as the wicked
heroine.
Then there's Dragon Seed ="
which Is already getting q heavy
run around the country. It will be

performances of Walter Huston and
Katharine Hepburn in the leading
roles are certain to give all the
Oscar hunters big scurry.

The alert researchers from

that 16 percent of the women
questioned would like to
sleep on the half shell, but
don't-"clear evidence of an
inhibition" that an architect

Among other vital Stats

double bed as a stabiliZing
factor in marriage and as
