...mechanical piano into action, dies to a ragtime tune. But best of all is the smoldering, velvet-voiced, wanton-mouthed femme fatale of Algiers, black-haired, hazel-eyed Viennese Actress Hedy Kiesler (Hollywood name: Hedy Lamarr). Her coming may well presage a renewal of the sultry cinema of Garbo and Dietrich. Hedy has been chiefly famous for her appearance, nude, in the Czechoslovakian film Extase, produced in 1933 by young Director Gustav Machaty as "a sermon in eugenics," exploited wherever U.

Tomorrow, however, they are abandoning the old name of "review day" in favor of "Romance Day," bringing to the screen Stokowski in "100 Men and a Girl" and Garbo in "Anna Karenina." This idylic couple, last heard from on the Isle of Capri, got widely diverging reactions from the local public. The big Swede left Harvard hearts cold, but the stoical Stokowski received such an overwhelming Radcliffe vote that the Deanna Durbin musical came in by a landslide. On Friday...
