...Love & Kisses." These record flights, and the whole birthday program, were a masterful stroke of publicity for the Corps. Ably assisting in the stroke was Lauren ("Deac") Lyman, oldtime New York Times air correspondent who now works for United Aircraft, good friend of Charles Augustus Lindbergh. Newsmen still found lacking, however, publicity for one phase of Air Corps activity more dramatic than any other. Lest it seem too warlike, the Corps is not allowed by the War Department to publicize the extreme accuracy which its bombers have attained. They now can guarantee to smack their targets as precisely from...

Elsa Maxwell's Hotel for Women (Twentieth Century-Fox) introduces two new screen personalities: luscious, lissom Linda Darnell (her real name), 15, of Dallas, Texas, and fat, frenetic, fiftyish Elsa Maxwell, corkjester extraordinary to Manhattan's café society. In a complicated little story about life & love in a Manhattan residence hotel for women, untypical Miss Maxwell plays herself (explaining her presence in the unswank Sherrington as her substitute for a vacation in the mountains), popping out brisk remarks, decanting an occasional drop of the Maxwellian philosophy, which undoubtedly seems headier after 2 a. m. On cocktail parties...

...Name Only (RKO Radio) will puzzle cinemagoers who thought they knew just what high jinks to expect when Screwball Gary Grant falls in love with Screwball Carole Lombard. Far from high jinks is the sombre situation of rich young Alec Walker (Mr. Grant) when he falls in love with Julie Eden (Miss Lombard), a widowed commercial artist who has taken a summer cottage near his stately country seat. For, as rarely happens in screwball comedy but is very likely to happen in life, Alec has a tenacious wife with an undeveloped sense of humor, parents who also thought infidelity...

...mature, meaty picture, based on the novel Memory of Love, by veteran bucolic Bessie Breuer (wife of Muralist Henry Varnum Poor), In Name Only has its many knowing touches deftly underscored by Director John Cromwell, brought out by a smoothly functioning cast. No surprises are the easy ad-libbish styles of Stars Grant and Lombard, the enameled professional finish of oldtime Actor Charles Coburn as Alec's conventional father. Surprising to many cinemaddicts, however, will be the effectively venomous performance, as Alec's mercenary wife, of Cinemactress Kay Francis. Having worked out a long-term contract with Warner...

Last week Dorothy Dix published her second volume of distilled love-lore for the pathetic public that sends her more than 500 letters daily. Wives with husband trouble will read that they must be patient. Husbands in woman scrapes will read that they must not cheat. But fluttery, did-I-do-wrong girls will be happy to learn Author Dix's basic philosophy, that Balzac long ago stated more picturesquely: "No matter how black the pot may be, it can always find a lid." A young girl's fancies, suggests Author Dix, should be pretty well taken...
