...into conversation about his job with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. Having progressed in seven years from junior clerk in the statistical bureau to the general manager's office to the accounting department to ''a responsible position" in the purchasing department, New Haven's Coolidge declared: "I love being called a railroad man. It's been highly interesting and very nice. . . . I've never really had any desire to mix in politics and there is little danger of my being asked. During the years father was in local politics we had enough to get by on but that...
...musical cinema. In this one, Alan Dinehart is an independent producer who faces ruin until he obtains the backing of Raymond Walburn, manufacturer of Titianola, a red dye for hair. Walburn becomes a producer of pictures partly because of his interest in Dixie Lee, who is in love with John Boles, and partly because of his grudge against Jean Harlow, the leading anti-Titianola influence (who does not appear in Redheads on Parade).

The emotional life of Julian Bern, precociously intelligent son of an English consul in Italy, began with a love affair with Zena, a Russian princess, whose noble family, perverse, gifted, incredibly wealthy, gave evidence of the fatal decadence of Russian rulers. One of Zena's aunts, under the influence of religious charlatans who were then dominant at the Russian court, wanted to subsidize Pan-Slavic conspirators...
...England, Julian learned to look upon the monarchs of Europe as insane, upon European society as doomed, struggled to maintain his belief in human reason in a world irrational and lost. Zena suddenly left him. In England he met suffragettes and careerists trying to be "modern," had a troubled love affair with a girl whose independence grew more & more neurotic. He met Mussolini when the future dictator was a Socialist editor, heard Jaures speak, listened to Balfour discuss European affairs. Although such contacts seem plausible enough for one of Julian's station in life, the famed historic figures seem...
