...Lest philanthropy be thought philandering, he keeps his identity a secret. Leslie knows him only from his shadow, seen once in an odd light, as "Daddy Long Legs." However, there is nothing more certain in Hollywood than the fact that to the man who pays the bill belongs the coo...
...offered Golden Age of the Theater ($5.95), a horror of prehistoric recording in which the voices of the great dead can occasionally be distinguished. Among them: Sarah Bernhardt, who sounds like a harp seraphic tuned to the emotional level of Mother Machree; E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, who coo as ponderously as a pair of 200-lb. doves.

Groucho had nothing noncommercial to do except hide in the back seat of a roadster-and he did that badly. To many...
...Aherne play the sinned against and sinning mates of the Lunts. Both are agreeable, thereby undermining the Coward intent at every turn. Aherne displays more character and less foppish romanticism that the author seemed to have in mind. Miss Best, looking winning and dove-like, is asked only to coo and weep. Cecil Beaton's sets are tastefully appropriate; his idea of Serena's sitting room seems about what the Marchioness herself would choose...
