Jane Cruikshank plays the Snopes daughter with a sheepish grin, while Basil Mange is never convincing as the anthropologist-congressman who finally settles the inter-racial strife. "North Forty's" technicolor sheep are wonderfully convincing, however, and they leave the moviegoer with a true sensation of the old West...

When Bonar Law resigned, there seemed to be no one in the Tory party to replace him except Viscount Curzon. Since Curzon was in the House of Lords (and therefore unable to face the growing Labor opposition in the House of Commons), the prime ministry went to Baldwin. "But," cried out Curzon, "[Baldwin] is a man ... of the utmost insignificance!" A Mayfair hostess asked...
Richard Law, 42, son of the late Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, was given a new title: Minister of State in the Foreign Office. Dick Law has worked on U.S. newspapers, writes waltzing British prose.
