...have a struggle to criticize a Claudette Colbert picture rationally. She certainly has something we like to see but "The Bride Comes Home" runs in the same rut of he-man conquering little lady despite wealthy opposition. Colbert can act, as well as show off well, and it is unfortunate that her talents, and the more limited ones of Fred MacMurray are not allowed to wander into different roles.

Bonds, notably Governments, climbed to new records but as a business shot-in-the-arm the gold clause decision was a notable flop-with one exception. The two biggest U. S. steel companies perked up enough to announce for 1935 big programs of expansion and improvement...
