...Salzburg, his childhood home, an annual August rendezvous of everyone at all Art conscious, lurked in his Festspielhaus, directing a rehearsal of Turandot, is proverbially averse to being photographed. Came a little Jew, "the slickest Jew on earth," the uncrowned Barnum of the Drama. Mr. Morris Gest, in genial mood, volunteered to get Cartoonist Barton and his camera into the Festspielhaus where never a cinema camera had clicked before. Mr. Gest succeeded. Max Reinhardt threw up his hands: "There is no stopping you Americans!" Max Reinhardt posed. Flickering light rays imposed upon the film the likeness of a curly haired...
...Scarlet Letter (Lillian Gish). This latest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer release preserves in spirit, mood, sequence, the true proportions of Hawthorne's novel. Praise for a picture can mount no higher. Hester Prynne and Rev. Arthur Dimmesdale break the seventh commandment. The heavy rod of seventeenth century New England righteousness falls upon them both -upon Hester socially, upon Dimmesdale spiritually. In spite of numerous opportunities for sentimental errata, the film records truly, as the novelist saw, the inevitably tragic and ennobling consequences of their suffering. One might wish that the bravery and sacrifice of the Puritan community had been represented...
Australian policemen struggled with, then fled from, a mob of 75,000 women fainting, men shoving and grunting, when Pilot Alan Cobham hove in sight last week over Melbourne, at the end of his flight in a seaplane from England.

He shook his head a little sadly. Then he smiled and sort of tossed the mood off: " 'Oh well, James, I see you're still with me.'" Quentin was also with him then- poor little "Quinikins," who was later shot down in an aeroplane over the German lines. "The day the news of Quentin's death came, Mr. Roosevelt was at Oyster...
...desperate girl, desperate enough to keep Sheridan as a brother; virtuous enough, after London was at her feet, to show Sheridan her offers from the rakes and have him compose stinging refusals. Nor did she succumb to the Prince of Wales (George IV) in a guilty mood. To her he was verily Prince Charming, up to the moment of commitment. Her second seduction, by Charles Fox, was a helpless lady's surrender to the slyest of flattery; he wooed her "parts," her "unsuspected powers." ... So writes generous E. Barrington-L. Adams Beck, the double-barreled lady who has lately...
