Witness Edna Ferber has called it "chie" to attend the trial. Enzo Fiermonte declared it a "knock-out," while Dolly Madison of the Young Republicans brought her knitting and completed only three stitches.

As a frame for one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's all-star casts, the play by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman which was produced in Manhattan last winter was even better. The actors in Dinner at Eight selected by MGM's new producer David Selznick, make the cast of MGM's Grand Hotel, produced by Irving Thalberg, look like a road company, make the picture-less biting but more comprehensive than the play-superb entertainment. Under Director...
