He is too proud to punish her, so the pair are forced to separate until the third act when he arrives in Hollywood and finds her, scorned by the cinema critics, in a more congenial mood. Mr. Tellegen is emotionally expert but, like Messrs. Faversham and Atwill, he is working with material which is hardly adult...

War debt situation with Mr. Hoover, and that he has not given the President any assurance that in wartime the British navy will respect the right of U. S. merchantmen to freedom of the seas. Since there has been general uneasiness in Britain on the latter point, Mr. MacDonald's straightforward answer cleared the air, enhanced his popularity, banished suspicion that...
