...genuine scrap of Shakespeare's handwriting were found, it should interest everybody but Baconians. For years scholars have known only seven authentic specimens of his signature, three of them in his will. Last fortnight in Salt Lake City, Professor Benjamin Roland Lewis displayed a small piece of paper cut or torn from an old document, with a common contemporary spelling of the bard's name-William Shakspere-plainly written across it.

June Lang does a perfect job providing a more or less platonic love interest with Tony Martin...
...Baba Goes to Town (Twentieth Century-Fox) transports taw-eyed, prancing little Eddie Cantor to ancient Bagdad, where he physics the ailing realm of Sultan Roland Young with panaceas borrowed from the New Deal.
