...belated reunion, [n 1923, when Soprano Moore was in the Music Box Revue, Montemezzi coached her for a Metropolitan audition, and she vowed that some day she would sing in his opera. Well she sang it, but she postured in stained-glass attitudes, walked in the gait of a woman trying out an unfamiliar wooden leg.

Dark, athletic, with a Cupid's-bow mustache, Valentine is a leader in cameramen's politics, earns $700 weekly on his Universal contract...
