She was an amorous manicurist, clipping three elderly clients for clothes until she met the nephew of one, whereupon in a burst of reform and shame she took the climactic pond plunge. Elinor Glyn devised the diverting asininity...
...HODGE AND MR. HAZARD-Elinor Wylie-Knopf ($2.50). "When Mr. Hazard was forty years old, he decided to revisit England. . . ."

The point wasn't wholly clear to us at the moment, but just a little more of Clara Bow made the allegory oh, so clear. Elinor Glyn wrote it, Clara Bow acts in it, and there you are. Bubbles McCoy (and you can go ahead and guess who in Hollywood would play a part with a name like that) has an opportunity to do plenty of the familiar pouting, and the unintimate undressing that has made...
