...that his main theme is a rhapsody on the theatrical potentialities of the female form. He brings Anna Held to America and makes her a national idol by immersing her daily (in private) in milk baths. He then marries the beautiful Anna (magnificently played by Luise Rainer) and moves ahead with the production of more pageania in the grand manner. For three glittering hours the screen is alive with Ziegfeld, his personal life and his productions. At least half an hour is devoted to a Ziegfeldian ballet based on his song hit "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody...
...seasoned money-playing professionals from Chicago had taken their place. On the first day, in a cold wind that stiffened contestants' fingers, "Light Horse" Harry Cooper posted a 70, the day's only sub-par score.

The story is perfectly adequate for a two part novelette, but has been spread out too far to make a full sized book...

In 1935 Phillips took in $92,000,000-19% more than in 1934. But benefiting from its famed "polymerization" process, which converts into high-grade motor fuels waste gases and refinery products hitherto lost or used in inferior products (TIME, Sept. 2), Phillips made $13,400,000 as against $5,757,000 in the previous year...
