...Hawk (Fox). In the grey belly of a Zeppelin over London, bombers work quietly. Through the night drop the bombs, making fountains and spraying plants of fire in the narrow streets, shaking the theatre where a chorus dances and the bar rooms and restaurants where people are eating and drinking. A flower-woman runs out to the corner to see the danger better and a nobleman goes up to his roof for the same purpose. The raid in the fog, brilliantly photographed, is the justification of an unconvincing anecdote about a British aviator (John Garrick) and a waitress (Helen Chandler...

Mr. Kennedy lately toured the U. S. as the guest of the American Bar Association, indulging simultaneously his passion for antiques...
...sombre tomb of the Emperor. At one point the sightseers pass the monumental Church of the Madeleine but even their "Hallelujah!" is syncopated. Clad in the fulsome but insinuating draperies of the current princesse mode, the sightly visitors caper about such venerated Parisian landmarks as the Ritz Bar, American Express Co., Café de la Paix, Longchamps racetrack, Claridge Hotel, Château Madrid, Zelli's-all affectionately depicted by Designer Norman Bel Geddes...
