...Japanese, always worried about saving "face," were left explaining that they had delivered not an ultimatum but only a polite warning. Bolder at its distance, the Nazi press in Berlin, carried a headline: U. S. Admiral Is Agitator. The British, cornered at every turn in China, frankly admired the Admiral's quick, firm action.

She takes a stand behind the counter of a shooting gallery, goes gunning for a big, silent ranch hand (Robert Young), misses his heart with her first try. Happily pursuing...
