...Printers' Union, and to him listened a colleague - Rt. Hon. Frederick Owen Roberts, Minister of Pensions. When it came time for Minister Roberts to match the earthy eloquence of the Lord Privy Seal, he arose, a somewhat pitiful sight, embarrassed, blushing, twitching at his jacket and ruffling his hair. Finally, he collapsed beneath the table, then suddenly uprose again and in his hand was a fiddle. Upon this fiddle he bent his bow and fiddled out such tunes as "Loch Lomon" and "My Old Kentucky Home." So finally the grinning printers' wives became a little teary...
...stage. Schooled by Belasco-who has so often seen talent where other producers saw nothing at all-she had a series of successes in comedy dramas of a sophistication suited to her flexible, quick voice and the knowing angle of her head in its paintbrush swirl of blonde hair (The Gold Diggers, Grounds for Divorce, Bluebeard's Eighth Wife, The Last of Mrs. Cheyney).

Three weeks ago they found them 95 miles north of Roberval. Thirteen-year-old Michel, his hair matted, his face aged and seamed from privation, crouched over an iron bucket in which he had kept a fire burning for two months. Nineteen-year-old Réné, dead since July, lay beside him, a moldering skeleton...
When Erich von Stroheim first turned up in Hollywood, a polite, conceited fellow in high collars and without hair, he gained attention over other European adventurers looking for a fortune in the movies because he knew something about military etiquette. He had been to a cadet school in Austria, had served in a crack imperial regiment. After advising directors on the proper management of uniforms and parades, he began to act in pictures himself-stared through a monocle, fought duels, smoked the longest cigarets ever photographed kinetically; was billed as "The Man You Love to Hate". Not satisfied, he became...
