...board. Best known members of the profuse Studebaker family at present are Col. George Studebaker, son of Founder Clement Studebaker, and his brother Clement. Neither is connected with the company. Wealthy Col. Studebaker founded South Bend Watch Co., Studebaker Mail Order Co. (watches) and has been "angel" to Colin B. Kennedy Corp. (radio). His brother showed a flair for utilities, is president of North American Light & Power Co. (Insull sub-sidiary?See below...
...last she gets almost bogged down in love herself. At the wealthy Stawell's her prettiness and simplicity catch Colin's eye. But for a snooping butler Colin would have made her his. Sally, very much in love, is promptly dismissed. Colin just as promptly forgets. But in her next position Sally, after a mourning while, forgets too; because in John Saril's household she finally graduates from maid to mistress. Middleaged, morose John Saril gives Sally real love, intends to marry her, make her his heir. But Death suddenly intervenes, and Sally must wander on again...

From under the Speaker's Table, Sergeant-at-Arms Admiral Sir Colin Keppel produced the mighty, gleaming Mace and laid it thereon. Right glad was Sir Colin, who failed to prevent a dastard Laborite from laying hands on the sacred Mace last year (TIME, July 28, 1930), that in the General Election this naughty varlet (Laborite John Beckett) lost his seat...
...most iconoclastic purist. Director Geddes has also provided an adequate cast. Raymond Massey, a cadaverous young man who brings from London fame as an actor-director-manager (The Man in Possession, Topaze, Grand Hotel) simultaneously makes his U. S. and Shakespearean debut in the title role. Stout Colin Keith-Johnston (Journey's End) of the husky voice is Laertes. Friends of Leon Quartermaine who remember his eminently sympathetic treatment of "Uncle" in Journey's End, regretted that he had a part no larger than Horatio...
