...that Lionel's nose is too blunt for any critic to have described him as "an elegant paper cutter moving through the drama" may somewhat account for this. He is neither a dope-fiend nor a drunkard; he seldom abuses critics in print and he made his stage debut at 15. Like his brother, he later tried to be a painter. Then he took to the piano and became a competent composer. He sips three malted milks a day, drives a Ford roadster, and merely says "My God!" when irritated. Two years ago he decided to stop acting...
...finally made his debut, eating a red apple in the family tradition, at a Chicago performance of Magda. Comfortably settled now in Hollywood, John Barrymore is supposed to have worn the same felt hat since the day he arrived. He speaks of the cinema and its moguls with witty contempt but sees to it that, when feasible, he is photographed from the left side, and shown, at one moment or another, puffing on a pipe.

Last year TIME made its large-scale radio debut on Columbia Broadcasting System with a program every Friday evening, called "The March of Time," a half-hour's re-enactment of significant news stories of the week.

As such his opinions demand wide recognition since there are few who will challenge his knowledge of world governmental affairs. In asking that the United States and the League of Nations cooperate in effecting an economic boycott on Japan he gave his assenting vote...
Well-paced, well-played. The Silent Witness, adapted from a play of the same name which ran in Manhattan last year, is a high grade stock product, with no undue pretensions. Good shot: Miss Nissen, who made her stage debut as an angel but has since concentrated upon demimondaines, sneering at her lover (Bramwell Fletcher) with such unpleasant petulance that, despite her beauty, spectators can condone his violence...
