...guide was an oldtime woodsman named Homer Bryson. The hunt for the savage, sharp-tusked progeny of Russian boars imported some three decades ago had been made doubly dangerous and difficult by rules that the hunters must go afoot instead of by horse, must use no dogs for fear of injury to the Forest's fawns...
Reputedly Kaiser Wilhelm II referred in 1914 to "England's contemptible little Army" and the disclosures of last week revealed that the French, while too polite to employ the Kaiser's adjective, recall how much squabbling there was between British and French commanders in 1914-18.

...Lawrence. A reckless spender in the Paris days of the Confessions of a Young Man he carefully saved his own earnings while pretending to be at the gates of the poorhouse, left an estate of ?68,000 which he deposited in three London banks in mortal fear of Communists.

Charges of this grave nature, often ably and intelligently supported, suggest...
...previous histrionic efforts Joe has been successively, a high jumper, five day bike rider, clown, prize fighter, acrobat, and tractor operator. Now, assisted by Carol Hughes, he overcomes his fear of horses the bold way. In short the usual Brown formula is followed. A timid soul, he pretends to great prowess on the ponies, and what you imagine would happen does, and in a big way. This is among Joe Brown's funnier pictures, and the supporting cast, headed by the redoubtable Skeets Gallagher and the aforesaid Miss Hughes, who is attractive, in a hard, metallic way, bet still...
