...that Cecil Blount DeMille survived most brilliantly the earthquake of the talkies is not to imply that he is still, as he was in 1924, the cinema's No. 1 director. Although it is true that most of his confrčres inject into their work as little individuality as the day crew of an automobile assembly line, DeMille is not the only one who has a method of his own.

More placid silence marked the automatic passage of S. J. Res. 21. Not unusual is it for the Senate to adopt a resolution permitting erection of a monument to a Civil War cavalry colonel who was also a great Republican orator. But altogether unusual was the Senate's action when the soldier-orator had an even greater fame as an antiChristian, a man who, were he still alive, would have picked...
