After a night as the President's house guests, the royal couple moved across the street to Blair House and began a nonstop, two-day official tour. At Mount Vernon, in a pouring rain, the slicker-clad King placed a wreath on the tomb of George Washington. At the next wreath-laying ceremony in Arlington Cemetery, the Queen tweaked the nose of a small boy who was standing nearby. "What a doll!" sighed a girl under an umbrella. "That's a lot of king," murmured a man, as the 6-ft. 4-in. Paul passed by. At lunch...

She breathes her lines with such feeling and langourous gusto that the shallow hussies of the American screen are put to shame. In fact, her lush performance is at times too enthralling. During Miss Lollabridgia's more decollete scenes, those lacking at least a smattering of French will find it impossible to concentrate on the English sub-titles...

But here, unfortunately, the whole thing was handled in the style of an old-fashioned debating society.
