...talents of two other ladies. Her brilliantly vitriolic portrayal as Mrs. Craig is likely to be a turning point for Actress Rosalind Russell, heretofore noted for her smooth handling of light comedy roles. The work of Dorothy Arzner, Hollywood's only woman director, is equally distinguished for giving pace without apparent effort to a picture that might, with less expert treatment, have seemed pedestrian...
...sentimental relic which, by Death and the dimming of old passions, had been stripped of political power for a generation. Of the 355 parading oldsters, whose average age was 92, only 170 crickety survivors of the mighty march of 1883 were able to hobble along at a funeral pace under their own power.

...they were first, three and a half games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals.

If we are not carrying disorder inside, we will meet the outside confusion with poise." He says that as a psychologist Emerson was more radical than Freud, asks readers to "consider how different Emily Dickinson would have been had she gone to Vassar and been a roommate of Edna...
...sole purpose were to reveal to a cinema public already well posted on the subject the details of Actor Robert Taylor's profile seen from the right. When Actor Taylor, functioning as Lieutenant Timberlake, has been removed from the proceedings by heroic death in action, the picture gathers pace. The idealistic love of Peggy (Joan Crawford) for Senator John Randolph (Melvyn Douglas); her marriage to Eaton (Franchot Tone); and her single-minded devotion to President Jackson (Lionel Barrymore) form a pattern which balances in entertainment whatever it may lack in educational value. Surrounded by youthful matinee idols who seem...
