Safe Harbor Water Power Corp. is owned jointly by Consolidated Gas Electric Light & Power Co. of Baltimore and Pennsylvania Water & Power Co. Chair-man of all three companies is bald, mustached Banker John Edward Aldred of Manhattan to whom the debut of Safe Harbor brought some comfort in a time of trial over the affairs of Gillette Safety Razor Co.* In 1909 John Aldred came down from Canada to be receiver for McCall Ferry Power Co. Under his direction it was reorganized as Pennsylvania Water & Power Co. A big dam at Holtwood, Pa. was completed and began supplying power...
...Guilty Generation (Columbia) is a lively gang picture. Chief interest is supposed to be supplied by the offspring of the gangsters rather than the gangsters themselves. The daughter of one tycoon gangster meets, at her Florida debut, the son of her father's mortal enemy, a young man who has learned to be an architect. They marry.

Raymond Massey, a cadaverous young man who brings from London fame as an actor-director-manager (The Man in Possession, Topaze, Grand Hotel) simultaneously makes his U. S. and Shakespearean debut in the title role. Stout Colin Keith-Johnston (Journey's End) of the husky voice is Laertes. Friends of Leon Quartermaine who remember his eminently sympathetic treatment of "Uncle" in Journey's End, regretted that he had a part no larger than Horatio...
...last week, Serafina di Leo read and reread her congratulatory telegrams. The newspapers told her what she already knew, that her debut as Leonora (// Trovatore) the night before had been successful if not sensational, that she had deported herself with accustomed confidence, displayed a powerful voice, bril liant if sometimes hard. . . . Lazily she stretched out, turned to the comic strips...
