Briskly directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and flavored by a pawky Irish supporting cast, Ourselves Alone will relieve U. S. curiosity regarding Cinemactor John Davis Lodge, the grandson of a onetime Massachusetts Senator and brother of a present one, who left the law for an acting career five years ago.

Through his social success, John Montague retained his peculiar shyness. Whence he came or where he got his money, he told no one. His friends were either too afraid or polite to ask. There were rumors that Montague...

When she fell ill last fortnight, Jean Harlow was at work on Saratoga, with Clark Gable...
