...honeymoon scene was the one which the audience, like the bride, had been looking forward to, but it is staged so much in the spirit of good clean Will-Haysian fun that it loses even the little vitality it had in the stage piece, Apron Strings, from which the scenario is adapted. Expert playing manages to make the story funny in a way that is partly meek, partly blatant. Nugent does not begin to behave humanly until friends have taken his mother's letters away from him. Jean Arthur, Allison Skipworth and Tully Marshall all work hard, and their...
...parts of Newfoundland and Labrador even before entering Yale with the class of 1926. Last year, having raised $200,000, he took a party of actors aboard the Viking to make a sound-cinema called White Thunder of the sealing fleets. It was for additional shots to complete the scenario that he set out with Cameraman Arthur G. Penrod on the disastrous voyage last month...

Then three kinds of artists begin to work: 1) "animators" who sit at two long rows of specially made desks and work by light that streams through a central glass. They develop the gags, draw only...
...busy, owlish Editor Edmond D. ("Cobbie") Coblentz, longtime publisher of the San Francisco Examiner. He plucked the idea from a small news item from Copenhagen telling of the broadcast of a murder trial there. Writer Kenneth Ellis of the American's radio-news staff wrote the scenario, packed into it the stuff of which city editors' dreams are made: the knife thrown at Dancer Dolores Divine as she walks to the witness chair; the disappearance of the "mystery gun" from counsel's table while the courtroom lights are switched off (each incident occurring just at the close...
