...Result was that Franklin Roosevelt, when he gave in, was not able to dictate a compromise. Instead he had to put the whole matter into the hands of Senator Robinson, trusting him to obtain the best terms available. This was a new relationship, not seen in more than four years, between White House and Capitol. Just as an expectant mother commands a certain ethereal prestige above other women, so Joe Robinson, as an expectant Justice of the Supreme Court, has become since Justice Van Devanter's retirement a sort of Super-Senator with a prestige all his own among...
Brilliantly photographed by Lee Tover, shrewdly released to coincide with the first heat waves of 1937, the $1,000.000 result successfully combines the current vogue for mildly lunatic comedy with the pure visual satisfaction of importations like Du World's The Bine Light, H.

Producers retort that this is untrue because block-booking contracts provide a 10 to 15% cancellation privilege. Great advantage of block-booking from the producers' point of view is that it gives them a constant, steady...
Tears mixed with ink often result in a sticky substance resembling treacle. Though the formula would not be recognized by a chemist, it is well known to some popular writers. And there is nothing so pleasing to some tastes as a good mouthful of treacle. Gene Stratton Porter was an expert at this mixture; so is A. S. M. Hutchinson. In Sorrel and Son Warwick Deeping had the formula just about right, but last week his latest novel showed that even specialists in sad-gladness cannot always hit the proper ratio, that too many sobs spoil the ink.
