...possible, TIME, that you do not know the Prince of Wales has a "double" who went to Belfast? That small, simple fact explains why the Irish acted as they did. Of course English papers cannot mention such things but I have spent enough of my life with English people who know to know...
Banyuls, contrary to what you mention, is not in any way a wine comparable to Dubonnet or Byrrh: it is a perfectly natural wine, completely uncolored, and containing no quinine or any other material whatever. In fact wine other than purely natural, coming from other than a certain specified region, made from other than certain specified grapes, cannot be shipped or sold under the name of Banyuls.

It is comforting to see that when Joan Crawford and Walter Huston are ordered to enact a "cloudburst of passion," they not only do what they are told, but do a good bit of real acting besides...
