...strength of noble heritage without the conventions of elegant social horseplay. The pair make excellent companions, and Sebastian leads his visitor in a scamper over Chevron's rooftops, in the course of which Anquetil saves him from slipping to the courtyard beneath. Taking advantage of his momentary prestige as rescuer, the explorer unburdens himself about his surroundings, analyzes the life of artificiality and compliance to which Sebastian is condemned. He pleads with the boy to come exploring with him. But Sebastian refuses, for his career has already begun: he is having a love affair with his mother's friend, Lady...
...more lurid than drawled "yes ma'ams" and "darn its" the blasting oaths which, in silent westerns, poured inaudibly from the lips of frontier villains. This Zane Grey story, however, is nicely photographed and contains all the proper western elements-mortgaged ranch, murdered cattleman, girl from the east, rescuer on horseback, crooked sheriff. It is all played humorlessly but fairly effectively by Richard Arlen, Mary Brian and a villain named Fred Kohler.

Tribbey and Paul Kille, neighbors, drove up, offered help, were greeted with guns. Would-be Rescuer Kille was beaten over the head and shot in the leg. Captives Kinne, Kille and Tribbey were driven through the mountains, dumped in a field, tied up and deserted. They freed themselves, walked to nearby Greer and sent the alarm through three States. Soon the posses were...
Slapper Mitchell. Activities of Banker Mitchell as Wall Street rescuer and Federal Reserve Bad Boy turned upon his offer to put $25,000,000 into the call money market. Inasmuch as call money had reached 20% during the famed 8,000,000 share turnover market-break (TIME, April i), the assurance of available funds had a tremendous moral effect. For traders were not so much worried about a 20% rate as about the fact that even at 20% money was not available. Thus the Mitchell announcement stabilized the market, much to the disgust of the Federal Reserve Board, which...
