...cuddles up to the role of Cigarette, the Legion mascot who finally gallops across the desert to save the battalion from extermination by the Arabs and die dreamily in the arms of the man she loves. Colman plays the part of the Briton-with-a-past who com mits patrician misconduct with a willowy Lady Venetia (Rosalind Russell) in a ruined monastery in the desert while the sound track wallows in the Kashmiri Song...
...Brookhart went to the U. S. Senate as a bull-shouldered, thick-skinned representative of Iowa. Both reports proved correct. His speech was an impassioned attack on the Interests, the Railroads, the Wets. His dress at swank Washington parties was a plain sack suit. His pugnacious cowhide radicalism nettled patrician Senators, and in a close election contest in 1924 the Senate chose to seat his opponent. In retaliation he won a smashing re-election in 1926. In 1932, annoyed by disclosures that he had placed two brothers, two sons and one daughter on the Federal payroll, lowans turned Republican Brookhart...

On the stage she has always appeared as a youthful person, with a rare piquant charm. The patrician quality which has distinguished all her operatic heroines is Bori's own. She was born a Borgia, descendant and namesake of the Renaissance Lucrezia. In Spain it was considered a disgrace for an aristocrat to adopt a stage career. Bori changed her name, made her debut in Italy...
Sprig of a patrician Boston family whose wealth came from shipping and New England real estate, Eleonora Sears is a great-great-granddaughter of Thomas Jef ferson. Her mother's father was Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, onetime (1892-93) Minister to France. Her father graduated from Harvard in 1875, is currently celebrated in Boston for his habit of taking a long constitutional around Back Bay every day, rain or shine. Frederick Richard Sears's daughter was a late-flowering hyacinth. Her appearance on a polo pony in men's riding breeches caused Boston women's clubs...
