...payment were depositors in Manhattan's closed Harriman National Bank & Trust Co. (TIME, March 27), but this gesture was no memorial to the solidarity of New York's Clearing House. When trouble cropped up in the Harriman Bank nine months ago, the Clearing House backed Henry Elliott Cooper as president and planned to work out the situation. When the Harriman did not open after the banking holiday, two Clearing House members welched, declined to carry out the understanding that the Harriman should be saved.

S. Babbitt (Minor Watson) who gives Lady Grayston checks and stubbornly calls her "girlie"; two as yet undegenerate Americans, Lady Grayton...
...Betters was performed on Broadway in 1917, but the conversation adapted for the screen by Jane Murfin and Harry Wagstaff Gribble still crackles. Constance Bennett's mannerisms and her loud voice, possibly a shade more metallic than she intends it to be, become her part. Violet Kemble-Cooper and Gilbert Roland (Luis Antonio Damaso De Alonso, son of a Spanish bullfighter), are the other most noticeable members of an expert cast, expertly directed by George Cukor...
