...Erich Pommer's productions, to be as small and delicate as possible. Its sly and trivial grace is becoming to the miniature charms of Lilian Harvey, who was too often lost in the exaggerations of Hollywood productions.

S. concerning an artist's unwritten obligations (TIME, Jan. 22). Texans called Thomas a poor sport, sympathized with Manager Harriet Bacon MacDonald who had been unable to meet her contract.
