...very pensive, to the Tower and soon comes----to take me to the Opera House to see Saint Joan. A mighty chronicle play it is with sparklingly conversation in good Shavian style. Yet I did not like the River Loire scene which is weak with miracles, not the epilogue, it being too openly didactic. But Katharine Cornell, though not saintly enough as Joan, does make the Maid a convincing martyr...
Married- Prince Aly Khan, 24. son& heir of the Rt. Hon. Aga Sultan Sir Mahomed Shah ("The Aga Khan"); and the Hon. Joan Yarde-Buller. 28. divorced last autumn by Thomas Loel E. B. Guinness, brewing scion and swank Conservative member of Parliament, who named Prince Aly as corespondent; in Paris...
...really was. It was all just a grand round of Y. M. C. A. entertainments, lovely French girls, and lots of wine, with a little fighting thrown in to keep everyone in trim.

Zasu Pitts and a horrible little boy who turns out to be a hero, Bennie Bartlett, are also...
Ruth Chatterton, who has been making pictures since who knows when, is starred in "Lady of Secrets", a rather incredible but touching movie. She is really not Joan's (Marian Marsh) sister but her mother, and that gag has been pulled a little too often for a gag that wasn't too good in the first place. However, her romance with the unjustly treated war-victim Michael (Lloyd Nolan) and her patching-up of her sister-daughter's love affair in the face of cruel father Lionel Atwill are interesting. Otto Kruger plays a wealthy anthropologist and sportsman convincingly...
