...Mr. Ben-Ami prefers understatement. When it is necessary for him to lie in vinous stupor on a couch, he forms no such abandoned arabesques with his body as did John Barrymore, who acted an adaptation of this play (Redemption) several years ago. Deliberate, warm, avoiding histrionism. the current Fedya invites comparison rather with the splendid performance given by the famed German actor Alexander Moissi during last year's visit to Manhattan...
...girl on a bicycle and a bishop, both nude, but appearing in total darkness. His wife Sena (Phoebe Foster) is painting a geometrical portrait of Percival Redingote (Alan Mowbray) who, in turn, is about to carve a bust of Sena. Because Miss Foster is a brittle beauty, Mr. Morgan an absurd farceur, and Jo Mielziner, who designed the scenery, knows how to burlesque the futuristic trend, this satire on ultra-modern estheticism by Novelist Ernest Pascal (The Marriage Bed) has its memorable moments.

Said Mr. McCormick: "Stanley's mind has always been unimpaired but there has been an interruption between the processes of his mind . . . tremendous mental conflict." He told how he once took his mother, the late Mrs. Cyrus McCormick Sr., to a hill hard by the Santa Barbara estate where his brother...
...formed a new $1,000,000 Grover Loening Co. for pure aero-dynamic research. Mr. Loening is president and chief engineer of his new concern. He can spend its money on research as he sees, fit. He intends specifically to continue work on his small mono-wheel amphibian and in general to make planes faster, lighter, easier to learn to fly in. He admitted that he might attempt the design of a Schneider Cup racer. He said he would accept research work for any firm engaged in air craft manufacture. With his strong governmental connections, he hoped for contracts from...
