...Westfield, Mass., Jasper T. Dunham, 90, was hauled into court on a charge of reckless driving. The judge asked him whether he didn't think he was too old to drive. Indignantly replied Nonagenarian Dunham: ''When I went to school 1 learned there was always a lot of exceptions to every rule, and in this case I'm one of them...
...usual sweeping evening gowns and Grecian neckline. Typical shot: Errol Flynn athletically clearing some dunes of a large number of hostile Bedouins. You Can't Beat Love (RKO). Only effective method of waking up Lawyer Jimmy Hughes (Preston Foster) in the morning is for his browbeaten butler Jasper (Herbert Mundin) loudly to dare him to get out of bed. Once up, he joins a gang of ditchdiggers on a dare, swings pick & shovel in white tie and tails with Jasper in anguished attendance (see cut).

...Gordon, whose artfully naive mannerisms are perfectly suited to the part of Mrs. Pinchwife. Best laugh in the show is the situation, often drawn for The New Yorker by Peter Arno, of a duped husband coming upon his wife in another's arms. In this case old Sir Jasper Fidget is the cuckold and his remark, greeted with wild laughter from the audience, is a mild "how now?" Born in Wollaston, Mass., now a widow of 40, professionally eccentric Ruth Gordon (Serena Blandish, Saturday's Children, Three-Cornered Moon, They Shall Not Die, Ethan Frame) is said...
