The upcoming two day engagement of Comrade X at the Saenger theater stars Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr with Russian dialogue woven into the script. Russian lines translated for Gable’s understanding by Andrey Tolstoy, ensuring clear comprehension through action and gestures. The film, directed by King Vidor, also features Homolka, Bressart, Arden, Rumann, Lutess, Sokoloff, Barrier and Plecorl in a lively rendition of a Moscow streetcar tale.
A young couple, Bob and Nancy Martin, with baby and dog, explore buying a modern small home on 25 dollars a week.

Federal Housing Administrator Abner H. Ferguson predicted the US home building industry would maintain the 1940 pace, with about 45 000 dwellings completed or started in 1940 and FHA insured loans financing over half of new single family homes. He cited strong employment, purchasing power, ample credit, and defense pressures shaping 1941 activity.
The article discusses Jesus using an extreme parable to urge decisive choice between earthly wealth and heavenly riches. It contrasts worldly pursuit with religious seeking of imperishable values, urging believers to adopt the same drive used for material gains in pursuing divine ends.
