Lindbergh, neither a Great Humanitarian nor an ex-President, but merely an ex-Hero, was met with a critical blast that made the blatts at Hoover sound like cheers.

In Hollywood's current concern with musicians, it plays a thin, modest, molto andante treble to such thumping pictures as They Shall Have Music (Jascha Heifetz), The Star Maker (Walter Dam-rosch). Rare top notes are contributed by Ingrid Bergman, Sweden's leading cinemactress, whose grave good looks, lit by a big-mouthed smile, make her one of the most promising Scandinavian exports since Garbo...
