...disease. Germany will be unable to provide the food herself, not knowing how long the war will last and hence how carefully, she must budget her food resources. She should, therefore, welcome the opportunity to have something done for her, and will hardly look a gift horse in the Mund. Furthermore, the amount of food that would be kept on hand by the Committee would never be more than would support Germany for over three days, so that Germany would not be able to allow a surplus, to build up and profit by a seizure...

She settles her little problem by tossing herself into a conveniently located river. The film is raised from...

Melody (words & music by Edward Childs Carpenter, Irving Caesar & Sig- mund Romberg; George White, producer). During a hiatus between Scandals, Producer White has turned his attention to operetta. This one is handsome, melodious, appealing to ear & eye rather than funnybone. It is the sort of play in which, by 11 o'clock, most of the actors are impersonating their grandchildren, for it begins in 1881, ends in 1933. Everett Marshall, having assisted Evelyn Herbert to cuckold her high-born husband on her wedding night, departs with French troops to Africa and is killed off early...
