...direction, the picture lacks all three. There are intervals when the two hours which it lasts seem as interminable as Bligh's voyage in the open boat must have seemed to its occupants. The narrative, which skips the saga of Pitcairn's Island entirely for Tahiti love interest, still contains enough material for at least three films. These faults are indigenous to the historic material used. The picture has few others. It is superbly photographed by Arthur Edeson. Franchot Tone as Byam, Clark Gable as Christian and Dudley Digges as the ship's doctor perform brilliantly...
...cinema industry, in its sudden and amazingly catholic attention to the literary triumphs of the past ranging from Shakespeare to Way Down East, this tender story was doubtless recommended by the fact that the love which it delineates, while unlicensed, is endowed with supernatural purity. It is the merit of Peter Ibbetson that its evanescent romance does not evaporate entirely in the dissolve treatment which all such dream-epics demand from the camera. This is due partly to the firmly sympathetic touch of Director Henry Hathaway, previously noted for such outdoor works as Lives of a Bengal Lancer, and partly...
...weren't so dumb, you would do a little investigating and become Witnesses yourself." Same day four Canonsburg teachers faced charges of whipping four recalcitrant young Witnesses.

The Romantic Rebels places Byron's life in perspective with the astonishing careers of Keats and Shelley, paints the three poets and their wives and many mistresses as unearthly children of genius whose love affairs, political activities and financial squabbles are like charming and pathetic parodies of a humdrum adult world. Both books devote much attention to the social background. At the time of Byron's fame, England was ruled by the fat, "superbly filthy" Prince of Wales, later George IV, who was known...
...thin, dark-eyed daughter of Lady Bessborough, fell in love with him. Although a great many noble ladies felt the same passion, "Lady Caro," who was also affectionately called "Ariel," "Savage," & "Squirrel," outdid them all. She disguised herself as a page in order to get into Byron's rooms, waited in the street while he attended parties to which she had not been invited, tried to stab herself when he spoke crossly to her, forged his handwriting to get his picture from his publisher. Driven to distraction by her, Byron found companionship with her mother-in-law, Lady Melbourne...
