“Kitchen Sink” Staellite (Universal Newsreel, Oct 1959)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. “KITCHEN SINK” STAELLITE - At Cape Canaveral, a towering Juno rocket hurls into orbit “Explorer VII,” carrying the most complex scientific payload, “everything but the kitchen sink,” to carry out seven key experiments in space. 2. “PILLOW TALK” PREMIRED - Galas on the East and West coasts mark the debuts of U-I’s new comedy hit “Pillow Talk.” Stars Doris Day, Rock Hudson, Thelma Ritter and Tony Randall are joined by hosts of screen notables and other dignitaries, at New York’s Palace, and the lavish new Murray Hill, where the event is a benefit for the United Nations school, and at Hollywood’s Egyptian where the premiere is marked by traditional screenland brilliance. 3. WILDCATS TOPPLE MINNESOTA - At Evanston, Illinois, Northwestern stages a story-book scoring drive in the final quarter, sparked by a fourth string, 147-pound quarterback to topple Minnesota, 6-0, in one of the Big Ten classics. 4. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO - The newest marvel of aviation thrilled the nation. The wingless autogiro demonstrated its abilities in the nation’s capital. In New Jersey, a young inventor tested his flying bicycle–which fortunately never got airborne. An amazing robot was shown in New York, and heard – speaking of love, robot-style! In the world of fashion, hairdos, millinery, and a fabulous fur show all made headlines.
