Mr. Roosevelt, if he lives as long as most Presidents, won't live much longer, and so has nothing to lose. But I and my friends have to fight the war.

He sometimes has three or four full-length pictures run off for him at one sitting, knows the cast of every German movie comedy. (Another memory feat: ability to give by heart names and descriptions of all U. S., British warships.) Favorite cinema repeaters now are the U. S. films Lives of a Bengal Lancer, Viva Villa!
