When she grew up to be a tall, pale, Burne-Jonesy young lady, she and her sister Vanessa lived together in Bloomsbury.

There is nothing distinguished about This Modem Age but, like a medium-priced sedan, it runs rapidly and smoothly along, an inconspicuous mechanical marvel which disgraces no one and will probably make a profit. Joan Crawford's new haircut, which gives the effect of a pale overgrown hedge straggling down the back of her neck, is not as unbecoming as it sounds. Good shots: Joan Crawford and Neil Hamilton (the fiance) dislodging a china vase and waiting for it to crash while it falls on a sofa. Trite shot: a scene of revelry which reaches its peak...
