...Scarlet Empress (Paramount) presents cinemaddicts with an opportunity to view the grandson of Massachusetts' late great Senator Henry Cabot Lodge dressed up in a neck-length wig, quaint mustachios and Russian boots, making love to Marlene Dietrich.

S. That was more than the deaths from scarlet fever, erysipelas or any form of tuberculosis, except pulmonary. More than half of 1932's leucemia victims were past 45 and more than 60% were males...
