Smilin' Through (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is an old-fashioned cinema, gentle, lachrymose and romantic, calculated to make the throat of any susceptible cinemaddict like that of a giraffe swallowing oranges.

It will be excellent to watch The Dartmouth take the CRIMSON in its annual touch classic this afternoon, after gathering for instructions around...

Bern's will left all he had to Jean Harlow, but the Sacramento Public Administrator claimed half his estate for the estate of Dorothy Millette as his "legal" wife. In Hollywood, Jean Harlow...
