...Gilded Lily (Paramount). A pert Manhattan stenographer named Marilyn David (Claudette Colbert) keeps weekly Thursday night dates on a bench in front of the New York public library with her popcorn-chewing reporter friend Peter Dawes (Fred MacMurray). When her true love, Charles Gray (Ray Milland), sails away without revealing his identity as an English lord, the newshawk exposes the romance on his tabloid's front pages, untruthfully dubs Marilyn as a "no-girl" who spurned British title and fortune. With this publicity Marilyn overnight becomes Manhattan's most notorious and highly paid night-club entertainer. Her career...
...slick, entertaining film of a modern Cinderella, The Gilded Lily moves plausibly through many plot impossibilities with Miss Colbert looking extraordinarily beautiful in chic Travis Banton frocks. Fred MacMurray, onetime jazz-band leader, dark-browed and handsome in his first leading role, is obviously nervous in some scenes but does, on the whole, creditable work and will probably be hailed as Hollywood's new great lover.

Dr. Dunn has completed a study on "Protection of Nationals." is working on "Intervention in International Affairs."

Three years ago Dr. John Van Antwerp MacMurray resigned as U. S. Minister to China to become director of a school which has neither faculty nor students-the Walter Mines Page School of International Relations, offspring of Johns Hopkins. Named for the famed scholar-diplomat who was once a Johns Hopkins postgradu ate fellow, the School was founded by popular subscription. Owen D. Young chairmanned a committee to raise $1.000,000. The late Publisher Edward William Bok gave $50,000 to finance the first year. Bernard Mannes Baruch gave $250,000 for a scholarly inquiry into the relation between profiteering...
