...name of oldtime ageless Actress Edna Wallace Hopper is "exaggerated and untrue," the Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against Affiliated Products, Inc. of Jersey City. Example: an ad which quoted Miss Hopper as saying, "I am past 60,* yet boys scarcely above college age often try to flirt with...
With the memory of Jeanette MacDonald as the delightfully dangerous flirt of "The Firefly" still fresh in the mind, one finds it exceedingly difficult to see here as the gawky, ignorant saloon keeper of "Girl of the Golden West."

Since 1924 he has owned and operated the roadhouse and store, welcoming the dog-mushers, riverboaters and flyers; playing nightly host at phonograph dances where giggling Eskimo "chickens"' come to flirt with the sourdoughs; cooking the meals he serves all-comers at the unvarying price of $1.50 per meal; baking 15 loaves of 50? bread in his big cookstove thrice a week; swapping supplies for gold at $32 the ounce; introducing to the civilization over which he presides such novelties as moving...
