Keynote of the biography on page 117, the last page: "Wallis Simpson IS a queen-the queen of romance, of glamour and the unfulfilled longings of a love-starved World." In Lancaster, Ohio last week the Eagle-Gazette announced that it will never again refer in print to the King & Mrs. Simpson unless: 1) they "elope"; 2) King Edward permits himself to be "directly quoted" on Mrs. Simpson; 3) the affair gives rise, as the horrified Eagle-Gazette fears it may, to "a Continental revolution...
...Love on the Run (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Sally (Joan Crawford) is a fabulously rich U. S. heiress engaged to Igor (Ivan Lebedeff), fabulously torpid European fortune hunter. She leaves him waiting at the church to run off with Michael (Clark Gable), fabulously adroit U. S. reporter. After junketing in Europe by airplane, delivery truck and wheelbarrow, they spend a night in the palace at Fontainebleau. Michael then tells Sally simultaneously that 1) he loves her and 2) he has been using their escapade to make headlines in the U. S. Sally takes up with Michael's gullible rival reporter...
...Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ever presents a prize for the picture which best exemplifies all the faults and all the virtues of all the pictures made in any given year, Love on the Run should win it.

Brilliantly spotted in 14 supremely efficient and separate styles of dancing is Nora (Eleanor Powell), a girl who lives in the Lonely Hearts Club and learns to love a boy. Authors Jack McGowan & Sid Silvers were not trying to be original even when they made the ship that brings Ted, Mush & Gunny home a submarine instead of the usual dreadnought. Everybody seems satisfied with the plot as they pair off in the Lonely Hearts Club with Hey, Babe, Hey! a novelty song and dance that is the season's high for cinemusical contagion. Frances Langford is a good dancer...
...best-selling British Agent, Robert Hamilton Bruce Lockhart told of the high-pressure diplomatic and love affairs that marked his days in the British Embassy in revolutionary Russia. In its sequel, Retreat From Glory, he described his post-War disillusionment, a long-drawn-out affair involving debts and dissipations in the Balkans, that left him looking dolefully on the modern world and suffering from an understandable fatigue. Readers of those two books who have come to expect from Bruce Lockhart well-bred accounts of international intrigue are likely to be disappointed with Return to Malaya. It is a record...
