...farming. Later he became head of the division of Farm Management for the Department of Agriculture. As a professor at Montana State College, he plunged into the problem of dry-farming, of raising more wheat per acre than had been grown before. Soon overproduction reversed his problem. He disowns authorship of the Domestic Allotment Plan for cutting the same farm output which he helped to stimulate but, because he was largely responsible for formulating it as finally adopted, he was called to Washington a year ago and made Wheat Production Administrator.

But her past (which includes English private tutors, a stage debut with an Oxford repertory company, authorship of three published novels) asserts itself in the Landi presence. Like Ruth Chatterton, Elissa Landi is violently patrician at all times and particularly so when she tries to be the creature of her instincts. This is a minor flaw in an otherwise pleasantly superficial parlor comedy, with modernistic interiors...
