...maid pursued by a sinister Spaniard, menacing, evil-minded. . . Another Spaniard in a rowboat, a lighted cigaret waved three times in the night blackness. . . Someone throws a switch and the Maine is blown up. Thus the film records the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. Paramount discovered one Frank Hopper, book-agent, who looks like Theodore Roosevelt. He is shown ordering the mobilization of the fleet during the absence of his superior, Secretary of the Navy Long...
...Arrow Collar boy with an Arrow Collar boy's personality. He sings fairly-well, however, and makes an honest stab at being Kathie's equal.

Nowhere is there exultation about the crop. The hopper flea has been nibbling at the fruits, retarding their growth and causing the stalks to grow rank. At present the boll weevil is feared. Texas seems in the best situation-rapid growth, favorable weather, fairly good fruiting, some insects, some rankness. Arkansas was doing well until rains came. Tennessee needed rain...
