They saw Voigt go one down in the morning round; in the afternoon, Voigt lost the sixth hole when his ball landed in a brook at the foot of the green. He kept on losing holes after that and the match was over on the 14th after they both played in from the rough around the green to halve the hole. Perkins, for the first time since he had started his afternoon round, threw away his cigaret without...

The acting of Clive Brook and Irene Rich was exasperating. The "talkie" parts were atrocious, partly faked...
...does so at an inopportune moment. Brook has been forbidden by Caleb to dance and love Tony, foreigner, Catholic. But Naomi, frantic lest Brook miss the great love she herself had known so fleetingly, tells Brook why she need not obey her "father." In a frenzy of dutiful adolescent loyalty to this man who had treated her as his own, Brook escaped from Tony to Constantinople with a missionary friend of Caleb, and not till years later did she realize what her mother had wished for her. For luckily an English husband rescued her from the missionaries, and later...
