At the inauguration, Son-in-Law Dall put in a polite appearance, later visited the White House for a birthday party. Then the wiseacres of the Press had a surprise: not Daughter Anna but 22-year-old Son Elliott turned up in Nevada asking a divorce. Last week the Press finally got the news it had long expected.

...mustn't hold it against "Christopher Bean" if the Hollywood press-agents have assaulted your ears with its praises, tricked up in their own inimitable surprise packages. It is a good picture. Lionel Barrymore, in the part of a country doctor who once cared for Chris Bean before his death, and who now possesses several of his pictures, is superb. His part is a difficult one, for he is required to portray a character not like the rest of humankind, and yet not strange enough to be got over with a bit of heavy "character acting," Dr. Haggett, finding that...
