...other fortunates who have been able to buy a seat on the force. It is Mrs. Meshbesher (Mary Boland) who declares that she has so many diamonds "you can see me from Yonkers." When Inquisitor Samuel Seabury (see p. 13) threatens the policemen with an investigation, they decide to conceal their opulence by financing a revue, The Rhinestones of 1932. High spot of this durbar, which must have cost Producer Sam H. Harris himself a good deal of money, is a lavish rhinestone Venetian scene, complete with half-a-dozen flights of rhinestone pigeons...

...making her a picture star, Paramount has introduced her to U. S. cinemaddicts with three of the dustiest vehicles of the year. Tarnished Lady was claptrap about a girl who married for money and later regretted it. My Sin was a routine rigmarole about a lady who tried to conceal a Central American past in a Manhattan interior decorating establishment. The Cheat is along the same lines-about a girl who loses $20,000 gambling and to pay it, has to borrow from the villain of the piece. Her husband gives her money to cover the loan but the villain...
