...with Rudy Vallée-a scheme concocted by Pressagent Tyrone Power-will be full of delicious possibilities. For, as Sonja's fans well know, the liveliest Hollywood buzz-buzz of 1937 concerned her studio romance with Tyrone Power, cooked up by no pressagent but by smart little Darryl Zanuck himself. Actually, Second Fiddle is no more of a personal history than any other Henie movie. Like its predecessors, it is an artfully contrived showcase for the display of a camera-kind young woman with a bag of unique and spectacular tricks...
Young Mr. Lincoln (Twentieth Century-Fox). The world should little note, nor long remember the story of Young Mr. Lincoln, for if it does, history may have to take a back seat. It is as if Darryl F.

Last month cinemaddicts who saw Producer Zanuck's Rose of Washington Square, in which Alice Faye redeems her swindler husband, Tyrone Power, by singing My Man from a Ziegfeld stage, wondered whether his foot had not slipped again (TIME, May 15). For My Man was introduced in 1920 by Ziegfeld...
