...less since a Federal jury found sleek, Italian-born Carlo M. Flumiani guilty on 12 charges of mail fraud last fortnight. This week Judge Simon H. Rifking sentenced him to 18 months in jail, a $2,500 fine. But nobody will miss Fortuny, Inc., or Publisher Flumiani. A particularly heartless and lucrative operator in what is known to the book trade as "vanity publishing," Publisher Flumiani was convicted of mulcting, since 1935, several thousand gullible authors of around $500.000 by making them pay for the publication of their books-mostly tripe...
...completely conceived was the stage play that its leading character, heartless, ambitious Regina Giddens, is played by Tragedian Bette Davis with scarcely an accent's difference from gruff Tallulah Bankhead's interpretation of the original Broadway role. This was not Miss Davis' idea. She quarreled with gap-toothed Director William Wyler (Jezebel, Dead End) for her own version. He-or the play-won.

How can this letter have been more than a wicked, heartless gibe at the poll-taxers. Hucy Long, who Mr. Davis says, is the arch type of political mongrel wafted to power by the illiterate and pitiable, was so wafted originally by persons paying such taxes. Next door to the bayou state, the great state of Texas whose elections have not seen...
...concerns the adventures of a heartless, self-pitying sadist, who is out to rob his own brother of the sealskins aboard his boat, but whose plans are somewhat complicated by the appearance of a writer on his ship. In this latest movie version, the plot is further complicated by the presence of John Garfield and Ida Lupino, two fugitives from the law who provide the inevitable love interest...
