...animal pictures which feature it, as is indicated in your review in this week's TIME. I mention this because I have always thought Mr. Mason deserved to be better known than he is, and while his plot may seem "silly" when put into the cinema, his book, although written for a less sophisticated decade, would perhaps find more favor with you. Present day readers might appreciate more his House of the Arrow, which I consider one of the best mystery stories ever written. ANITA CIFRE...
...suspension. The Kuomintang of America, branch of the potent political organization behind the Nanking government, demanded their recall to China for trial. The impression spread that certain death, from a headsman's sword cleaving into the back of her bent neck, awaited Mrs. Kao if she were deported.

Adolphe Menjou, who talks throughout the picture with a French accent, although in private life his inflection is thoroughly native, makes a suave, satiric portrait out of the role. Best shot: Menjou. exhausted by exercise and mountain air, thumping with his cane on the bedroom door of his inamorata and uttering protests of passion while he eats a sandwich...
