Prizewinning artist was Noble Foster Hoggson (1888), a dapper, peppery little gentleman of 71, member of the building firm of Hoggson Bros, which has in the past 45 years erected over 2,000 bank buildings throughout the U. S. Newshawks found Artist Hoggson in the club bar, more than willing to talk...
...Love Before Breakfast" years to be too, too smart. It is one of these pictures that tries conscientiously to be conscience-free. Whenever the sophistication peters out in English, the actors become blase in the approved Parisian style. For example, when Preston Foster invites Carole Lombard into his private office, she says, "Mousieur" and one sees instantly what a cosmopolitan she is. It's too bad the way Hollywood is forced to grind out pictures in such a furious frenzy. Clearly there is no time to write the small talk in advance, and the poor scared actors and actresses have...
Carole Lombard is pretty well preserved, and she is fairly diverting when violently refusing to be one of the buttons pressed by her omnipotent, omnipresent lover (Preston Foster).

If they are I suggest that someone with an under standing and a feeling...
Speaking for Standard's management, John Foster Dulles, famed international lawyer, suavely acknowledged Truster Groves's "remarkable achievement" but doubted whether he or anyone else was "smart enough to make $2,000,000 into $9,000,000 as a regular proposition." Said Lawyer Dulles: "It can't be done without, in the first place, having a substantial amount of high speculation, coupled with a very considerable amount of luck. Anybody who thinks that that thing can be done, and done regularly, is a man, I say, who is playing for a fall." The stockholders apparently agreed, giving...
