Aries (rani), Mar. 22 to Apr. 20, governed by Mars. These people are intolerant, impulsive, aggressive, insufferably proud. The women tend to be more passive than the men, and are often free lances.

Spots of melodrama, blotches of theatrical emotion do less, to mar the story than to prove that sincere acting can make these defects seem trivial. Belle Bennett (whose reward for a fine performance in Stella Dallas has been a succession of mediocre roles) and Eve Southern (who wore dark hair and a fixed expression in The Gaucho) are competent to effect a more than satisfactory transposition of Martha Ostenso...
...William Clive Bridgeman, First Lord of the Admiralty, announced that two of the big British cruisers that had been building under the terms of the disarmament treaty had been abandoned.
