...Wedding Present" Cary Grant and Joan Bennett again prove that they are a good team. It is a highly-recommended picture. The action revolves about two star reporters trying to scoop each other. Paramount drags in the stock Hollywood conception of a newspaper: there is the hard-boiled city editor, played by George Bancroft and there is the constant occurrence of three alarm fires and murders attended by cynical, wise-cracking reporters. What distinguishes the movie is the sure, smart acting of Bennett and Grant...
Arthur Krock, chief of the New York Times Washington bureau, last week thought he had a scoop.

By 1924 she was chief of the Public Ledger-New York Evening Post bureau in Berlin, where her liberal tendencies later ran afoul of the Nazi movement (TIME, Sept...
Nevertheless last week's scoop by Chairman Howard was of the first magnitude. After his even more difficult feat three years ago in becoming the first journalist received by the Japanese Emperor since the accession of His Majesty, Roy Howard had to give his word not to quote one word of what the Son-of-Heaven said (TIME, July 3, 1933). Last week the Soviet Government not only permitted quotes but supplied Mr. Howard with a translation of what Joseph Stalin had said in Russian, this interview having been conducted through brilliant, saturnine Constantine Umansky as interpreter.
