Last week one Henry M. Blackmer, U. S. citizen residing in France, found himself lacking lines which, though not as intimate as a marriage license yet were of some importance to his wellbeing. For, the U. S. Government had succeeded in taking from him his U. S. passport, leaving Mr. Blackmer in the embarrassing predicament of a "person whose papers are not in order." Mr. Blackmer is urgently wanted in the U. S. as a witness in the coming (October) trial of Albert B. Fall, onetime (1921-23) Secretary of the Interior, and Harry F. Sinclair, oil man, for conspiracy...
...Blackmer has retained counsel to recover his passport, arguing that he paid $10 for it and therefore it is his property in perpetuum.

There is an assumption that the playwrights know what the public swallows alive and buys wholesale, a dangerous assumption...
...queen's taste. The methods of the three are in great contrast. Miss Kennedy depends upon her ability as an actress; she is constantly alert from beginning to end, with never a gesture too many, and never a quarter note too high, so far as she can see. Sidney Blackmer, as Gregory Farnham, the American lover, twice entangled by engagements, employs the easy, off-stage air which distinguishes Roland Young. There is too much, physically, to Mr. Blackmer to permit of the same ease of manner owned by Mr. Young, but the method satisfies. Count Scipione Varelli, played by Jack...
