Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas Fils, "La Dame aux Camelias" is not only an excellent moving picture, but it affords American audiences an opportunity of seeing the lovely Yvonne Printempts in her native element. It may be the last such opportunity, for Miss Printemps is soon to walk among the alien corn of Hollywood, and what sort of screen vehicles her mentors there will give her, none can tell...
CAPITALIZING on the new wave of interest in The Scarlet Pimpernel evoked by a Hollywood adaptation of Baroness Orczy's novel, Mr. Blakeney presents what is supposed to be the accurate story of his life and exploits. Mr. Blakeney's Scarlet Pimpernel is so much like the novelized personage that the book is hardly worth the trouble he took in filling in missing gaps and adding all sorts of anecdotes.

By last week only two of the children had materialized, but her eight novels were a brood of legitimate offspring most mother-authors would be proud of. Her latest, A Silver Rattle, keeps up the high family average. As in Breakfast in Bed, Author Thompson's narrative method is centrifugal: her story is less a novel than a series of related pictures, not always in chronological order. But for modern readers who are not easily flustered...
