Used to the ways of trappers. Mme. Courtois did not expect her husband and sons back from their business until the Spring. But June came, the fishing season started, and still they did not return. Neighboring trappers and lumbermen talked of organizing search parties. But, remembering shock-headed Dave Courtois' experience, his brawn, his ability to quaff tin dippers of "trade whiskey" from a barrel, they waited...
...efforts to aid her the strain had produced, by the time she graduated, permanent injury to her heart. ... As a general rule women do not earn as high salaries as men. Moreover, they look forward to marrying and are reluctant to load a debt on a young husband. A debt makes an unattractive sort of dowry. . . ." Dean Gildersleeve thus touched upon one phase of the scholarship and tuition loan problem which, present at all colleges, is being attacked from a new angle by a big new institution called the Lincoln Scholarship Fund. This Fund started functioning last week in Manhattan...
Three Loves (Moviegraph) is the ac- count of a well-curved siren who made life obnoxious for three men. When an elderly lover had eliminated her husband, she bewitched a youth who was about to depart on his honeymoon. In the midst of New Year's revels he tried to separate her from her consort, who took the occasion to murder her.

Jealousy (Paramount). Louis Verneuil's play was much praised on Broadway last season for technical cleverness -its only characters were the ex-mistress of a boulevardier, her new husband, an all-too-human telephone. Maddened by things he heard over the wire, the husband finally went out to slay the other man. This story has now been made into a sound cinema. The unseen lover appears, but to no advantage. Jeanne Eagels as the wife employs a ridiculous English accent, the action is turgid, the photo-graphs dull. Silliest shot: Frederic March taking time out to suppress his justifiable...
...would believe cinema producers. Recently Our Dancing Daughters with its imperial salons and moonswept amours caused such a flutter in nationwide breasts and box-offices that the Metro people repeated the formula with practically the same players involved. Swagger Joan Crawford tosses off cocktails with her real-and-screen husband, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., but this is no sign of fundamental joy. For the story tells you that he has betrayed her with comely Anita Page, who elegantly pantomimes a girl's first inchoate raptures. And Joan has flirted dangerously with a young diplomat for purposes of getting her husband...
