...Washington. As a U. S. attorney Lawyer Stimson had been vastly impressed with his ruddy, nervous little assistant who still had an accent when he came to him shortly after graduation from the Harvard Law School in 1906. Felix Frankfurter stayed long enough in Washington to gain the respect of President Wilson (who called him from Harvard in 1918 to head the War Labor Policies Board) and, more important, the lasting friendship of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Delano Roosevelt...
...father's life recalls the respect that Congress paid him after his death. You will find nothing loftier in our annals. The three-day recess enabled his fellows to set down their admiration for his single-handed fight against American Imperialism.

There is not much action in The Silver Cord but if the cinema does not improve upon the play in this respect it has the compensating advantage of being able to show close-ups of Miss Crews's face, as it becomes ingratiating, anxious, angry, greedy, terrified and, finally, a twitching mask of misdirected lust. Good shot: Mrs. Phelps spilling a cocktail when her daughter-in-law says that she expects...
