...mature, meaty picture, based on the novel Memory of Love, by veteran bucolic Bessie Breuer (wife of Muralist Henry Varnum Poor), In Name Only has its many knowing touches deftly underscored by Director John Cromwell, brought out by a smoothly functioning cast. No surprises are the easy ad-libbish styles of Stars Grant and Lombard, the enameled professional finish of oldtime Actor Charles Coburn as Alec's conventional father.

Ordinarily, the matter would not have been discussed until the bishop's resignation came before the Episcopal House of Bishops, at its meeting next November. But last month two Michigan laymen brought suit against the bishop and four trustees, demanding an accounting and restitution of the funds. And last week the Chicago Tribune splashed out stories picturing 51-year-old Bishop Ablewhite as a worldly prelate, a drinker of Scotch whiskey and champagne...
