...capital's main social stage. That is why Washington is full of side shows. The form of the main performance is reproduced faithfully on a small, stuffy scale in the lobbies and "parlors" of the inexpensive hotels near Washington's Union Station. Seldom are these second-rate social troopers seen in Northwest Washington after 6 p. m. When a second-rate Congressman does scale the heights, he usually does something gauche-like the Senator who had himself flash-lighted as he entered Secretary Mellon's home to dine...
...dusty, musty smell peculiar to large expositions was missing from Detroit's second All-American Aircraft Show last week. Several thousand sightseers and several score actual plane purchasers each day could comfortably inspect 104 plane models, exhibited by 44 oldtime and 16 freshly organized manufactories. Planes ranged from the tricky little Heath at $975, which only the best of pilots dare handle, to the $67,500 Fokker, for which, with its ornate fittings* Cadillac's President Lawrence P.

Earle Larimore gives an acutely sympathetic portrait of the beaten youth, but the story mounts to its second-act crescendo through the beauty of Margalo Gillmore's portrayal of the girl who, without wanting to, draws the youth back into the shadows of mediocrity. There are other excellent performances by Edward Pawley, Dudley Digges, Elizabeth Patterson and Armina Marshall. Mr. Digges also is to be credited with the direction. The production is flush with the Theatre Guild's usual high level...

She was second woman in a Scrap of Paper, The Famous Mrs. Fair, Alias Jimmy Valentine. She jumped into headlines with Richard Bennett in He Who Gets Slapped. In the last two years she has been a member of the Main Acting Company of the Theatre Guild. Unmarried, she has an apartment of her own and likes contract bridge, cats (three at present), golf, swimming...
