...charm. I was impressed by the refinement of American home life. I was particularly impressed by the respect which the men show their womenfolk. The Americans are a fine people. Let no one tell you differently." Since September, Dublin playgoers have been learning from Ever the Twain, a play by Irish Dramatist Lennox Robinson, that the U. S. is a land of gumchewers, gunmen, gigolos, gin mills. "Remembering what I saw with my own eyes," boomed Chief Justice Kennedy, "I can only describe Robinson's play as a lampoon...
...bare boards of his stage. The Taming of the Shrew is Douglas Fairbanks' first all-talking picture and the first picture in which he has ever appeared with Mary Pickford.

No one need be afraid to take one's nicest relative to see it. Why "Success" has never been produced in America is not quite clear. It is no more British than "Mr. Pym", no more ironic than "The Truth About Blayds", no more fanciful than "The Romantic Age", all well beloved pieces. It is the story of a career...
