...should die childless. In San Francisco last week Daughter Hewitt brought suit for $500,000 damages against Mother Hewitt, two physicians and a State psychologist. She charged that her mother, greedy for the whole trust fund income, had had her sterilized. From the fantastic miasma of charges and counter-charges which promptly enveloped the case, the following facts emerged undisputed. On Aug. 14, 1934 Mrs. Mary S.

...Lawrence Stallings makes the most of it. The scene is laid in Missouri during the Civil War, where we find Randolph Scott in the role of the forerunner to the modern conscientious objector. He "likes to see things grow," and hates destruction. His mature and civilized ideology run counter to the inflamed and destructive passions of the times. Consequently he is socially ostracized, is called a coward by his beloved cousin (Margaret Sullavan), and is torn by divided loyalties. Before the war is over, he capitulates and joins the Southern side, and then comes the complete transformation...
