...member of the cast of Pygmalion whose work pleased everyone was 26-year-old Wendy Hiller. Famed as the star of Love on the Dole, whose coauthor, Ronald Gow, she married in 1937, Wendy Hiller plays Eliza with a minimum of frills, and complete sincerity.

This beautiful bayonet may help enforcement, but unfortunately it is not clear in many cases what constitutes a violation of the Act.

Product of the Hollywood minimum of five writers (Jerry Wald. Maurice Leo, Richard Macauley, Wally Klein, Joseph Schrank), it shows a few deviations from pattern which give it an unexpected and agreeable individuality. Sample: when the heiress (as in The Cowboy and the Lady) adopts the invariable ruse of impersonating her own maid, her father, instead of objecting, happily arranges...
