...Chain Gang" or the "Stunners" left in Washington. He explained to President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon that his resignation was in no way influenced by the controversy which the Federal Reserve Board had lately with its Chicago member bank, when Mr. Crissinger was charged with domineering because he cast a deciding vote to make the Chicago bank lower its rediscount rate against its will (TIME, Sept. 19, BUSINESS). Mr. Crissinger explained that his wife's poor health and his own opportunity to increase his income as an executive of a District of Columbia investment banking house...

Accordingly Her First Affaire falls short of perfection by only one actor. In its cast of five is Aline MacMahon whose performances in Spread Eagle and Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon satisfied many a theatregoer that her tall, angular person is an almost ideal instrument for fateful, tragic roles. Here, however, she performs commendably as the knowing wife of a popular literatus who is beset by a flapper openly...
