...Ramona (Twentieth Century-Fox). The cinema's recent investigation of the U. S. past including to date The Gorgeous Hussy, Robin Hood of Eldorado, Hearts Divided, The Plainsman, The Texas Rangers, Last of the Mohicans and Daniel Boone (see col. 3), now broadens to include Novelist Helen Hunt Jackson's quiet classic about a ranch-girl's love-life in the San Jacinto mountains, circa 1870. Ramona herself is half-historical, half-fictional, half-white and half-Indian, but there is nothing halfway in the manner in which Twentieth Century-Fox has handled her biography...

Senora Moreno (Pauline Frederick) in whose house she lived, had brought her up like a white girl and she was loved by the Senora's son Phillipe (Kent Taylor). However, she was glad when she found out that her father's wife had been a squaw because it left her free to marry Alesandro (Don Ameche, late of NBC's Grand Hotel hour).

In Baltimore a week ago we had really remarkable success, but up here it's one hard job arousing enthusiasm in a bunch of highbrow codfish...

They play German and Viennese waltzes almost exclusively, you know, and the public likes them. I'm only surprised that this type of music has not made greater progress already, because New York is certainly waltz-minded; and as New York goes, so usually goes the rest of the country in this respect...
...Ramona's favorite sport is watching other people play golf and tennis. "The boys take me along because I keep quiet. I can't play a darn thing myself," she confessed. "My few idiosyncrasies, if you want to know them are: I always wear all black or white: I never go on the other side of a tree or post when anyone is passing; I like almost anything: and I've never fallen in love--maybe because I don't know many Harvard...
