Strangers May Kiss (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). This is one of those handsomely staged, well-acted, rather silly productions which confound critics who try to reveal their silliness. The story is by Ursula Parrott, author of famed Ex-Wife; it will probably gross several million dollars. Norma Shearer is a working girl who says, "A girl may kiss and ride on as well as any man." Yet when Neil Hamilton, her journalist lover, companion of an illicit weekend in Mexico, says a casual goodbye to her, she is seen in one of those rapid sequences indicating a shattering of feminine morale...
...Author. Publishers Farrar & Rinehart stoutly withhold the real name of "A. Riposte," admit the author may reveal him (or her) self later. Whoever the author may be, he (or she) is obviously a good friend to Novelist Hugh Seymour Walpole (pilloried in Cakes and Ale as "Alroy Kear"), obviously has been at pains to ferret out Maugham's career, obviously has a grudge against Maugham. Mindful of possible libel action. "Riposte" steers clear of any reference to Maugham's effeminate men friends (TIME, Oct. 6).

...coat. Floppy, capacious tweed knickerbockers are his usual gear and sometimes (in his official capacity at a track meet) he achieves a novel effect by adding to the ensemble a tailcoat & white tie, twirling in his hand a big gold-knobbed baton.

In his office he is irascible, sometimes making helpless undergraduates wonder why they have put up with him so long. And perhaps he sometimes wonders why he gave up a profitable law practice some 15 years ago to become the fixture...
...contemporary critic is in constant danger of blemishing his own reputation. Mr. Muir bore this in mind when he wrote this little volume on the world after the war of 1914, and he takes the precaution to temper his political prescience with such phrases as "Time alone can reveal the results," or "Whatever the outcome, it will rank among the great events of human history...
Clergymen have been hailing Lutheran Pastor Emil Swenson of Minneapolis who accepted a court sentence rather than reveal secrets confided to him by a parish- ioner (TIME, March 16). The Press, which also hailed Pastor Swenson, last week hailed even more loudly a "martyr" of its own: youthful, dapper Edmond M. Barr, dramatic critic and ace newshawk of the Dallas Dispatch. Reporter Barr went to jail rather than break journalism's proud rule: Never expose your pipelines. Reporter Barr wrote for his paper of how two Communist organizers, C. J. Coder and Lewis Hurst, were taken from the city...
