...Incidentally, you'd be interested in a swell story I heard the other day about a trial out in New Jersey. This fellow was up on a charge of selling beer. The defense was that it wasn't more than one half percent and they'd leave it to the jury to decide. The jury took the whole batch of beer, about 50 bottles or so into the jury room. About three hours later they came out well plastered, and damned if they didn't render a decision of guilty." The lawyer for the defence jumped up and said 'Those...

...handling of the chorus scenes is outstanding. Even the uncolored half of the picture, especially the dance accompanying "Singing in the Rain", makes effective use of shadows and silhouettes; and the closing scenes, employing an enlarged screen, are among the few good bits of technicolor the movies have thus far offered. "In Orange Blossom Tinte", with its beauty of color and brilliant shots from strange angles, particularly makes one realize that artistic photography did not altogether pass out with silent pictures...
