...painted as an octoroon. She sees him next at Richmond where she is functioning as a Southern belle. By this time the audience is well aware that Loveless and Gaillard are information agents, he for the South, she for the North. The scene in which Marion Davies says "I love you so" is promptly followed by the one in which a Confederate soldier informs Gary Cooper that she is a spy. Then, true to type, he calls her "cheat" and "liar." Even so, Operator 13 remains a sumptuous melodrama, moody, sensational and elegantly trimmed. Good shot: Marion Davies weeping when...
...Brooklyn garage Angelina di Gangi, 15, scolded Vito Marano for flirting. Young Vito cuffed his love, and she fled home. Hour later Vito, repentant, sidled into the dark hall of her house, a peace-offering of fine yellow daffodils in his hand. A gun spat a bullet. Young Vito turned slowly in surprise, walked a block before he showed his wound to a policeman. At the other end of the block Angelina's hysterical scream attracted the policeman.

Greatest villain of the piece is old Paul...

Indians in Mexico were found munching them as early as the 16th Century. The French prescribed them as a highly effective love potion. Thomas Jefferson had some on his Virginia farm in 1781, dared to use them in sauces and soups. But a woman born in Trenton, N. J. as late as 1833 reported that when as a child she ate a tomato, her parents rushed her to the doctor, certain...
August discovers that he is not so poor as he thought. With a windfall in his lap he neglects to keep the necessary firm grip on his skittish character. He falls ridiculously in love, squanders his money on a grandiose scheme, and finally meets an appropriate but not altogether tragic fate. His author's verdict on him is stern but not unkindly: "It was his mission in life to father all forms of progress and development, and he had left behind him desolation in one form or another wherever he had gone. He was ignorant and therefore innocent...
