...with Field only serves to sharpen her realization of her love for Brady and after a tremendous struggle within herself she is finally saved by the generous defection of Field from the scene. This hackneyed plot is easily counterbalanced by the attractiveness of Miss Crawford and Mr. Gable's genial masculinity. The lines are good and the photography excellent in spots. For all except the most incorrigible high-brows this is bound to provide an entertaining hour...

Other delegates saw no reason to contradict him. The nation which, on a percentage basis, had most flagrantly broken its pledge happened to be the Conference's host last week, hence could not in decency be flayed. Solemnly His Majesty's Government gave its word last year "not to encourage any extension of the area sown," then went blithely ahead paying subsidies to wheat growers in Great Britain with the result that the Kingdom's acreage...
