JAN 2i 19U2 Published in this space every month Begins the nineteen hundred and fortysecond Annum Domini and the third year of this column. • •• ikMay our foes wither like the chilled leaves. May Decency find, with renewed vigor, the mislaid path plotted in the year one. • • * • So wisheth the philosopher Leo, Coeur de Lion. • * • • Each of us, in his own way, has his job to do. And ours is to entertain, to divert, to interest, to serve. • * * * We offer the best that the screen can provide. With each year the movies come to fuller flower. In addition to technique they have mastered pace and the tempo of the times. • • • * When you see — and you will see — Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn in "Woman of the Year", note this blending of action, merriment and modernity. • • * • It's the snappiest yarn that has come to the studio editor in j many moons. • * * • Spence plays a hail-fellow sports writer named Sam. Kate plays a highbrow political columnist named Tess. ■*•••• Tess gets pretty stuffy about sports and one day Sam takes her to the ball game where she asks some pretty cute questions, to the disgust of the press box. It's either war or love twixt Sam and Tess. All's fair in both. • * • • But, baby, what comedy comes out of the mixing of the two worlds — the people and the tall brows. That party where those who came over in the Mayflower rub elbows with the boys who are more on the cauliflower side. * * * * V \v\ / / "Woman of the* Year" is the Pic-, ture of the Year. -JUo.
