Quentin Durward (M-G-M). "Durward," says the Scottish envoy (Moultrie Kelsall) at the court of Burgundy one silver morn in the summer of 1465, "you are a handsome, proud, gallant, honorable and slightly obsolete figure." At these words Robert Taylor recoils. It is startling enough for a 44-year-old matinee idol to hear himself described like an overage destroyer; but to be addressed in literate and amusing English smack-dab in the middle of a Hollywood thud-and-blunder opus is a shock almost as sharp as seeing Sir Walter Scott in the old Stut...
...warning lights, apparently, fail to attract University Police. Discriminating in their choice of colors, these gentlemen are fascinated by another shade: orange. In fact, they seem so enamored by this duller hue that they amuse themselves during the dark of night and early morn distributing samples to cars parked on local streets.

...Angeles Times managed a wry smile in a cartoon that showed Paul Chabas' famed September Morn adapted to local conditions (see cut). But smog had stopped being a joke.

Into the Foundation. Tucked away in a vast mansion in Paris were many of Gulbenkian's art treasures, ranging in taste and quality from the finest of Rembrandts to Paul Chabas' famed and wishy-washy September Morn. In his last years, even their owner seldom saw them. Separated from his wife, Gulbenkian lived alone with a staff of retainers in his suite in Lisbon's Hotel Aviz. His rooms were furnished as drearily as a business office, and Calouste Gulbenkian's only diversion in his decline was the manipulation of his great power. The chief beneficiary...
...faced up to it. The day after his confirmation he summoned Police Chief Pavone for a long night session, told him grimly that the government of Italy, and not the Communists, was going to break the Montesi case wide open. It did not matter who was hurt. Next morn ing Pavone resigned. Foreign Minister Pic cioni sent his resignation to Scelba, and it seemed likely that Scelba would accept it. Scelba appointed Minister Without Portfolio Raffaele de Caro, a Liberal, to make a full investigation, ordered Montagna's passport lifted, and an investi gation of Montagna's income...
