Make Way for a Lady (RKO) is a resounding contribution to the Five Little Peppers school of cinema, showing what happens when a suburban high-school girl (Anne Shirley) undertakes to manage the sex life of her widowed father (Herbert Marshall). Convinced that he is in love with a lady novelist (Margot Grahame), she tries to wreck his romance with a schoolteacher (Gertrude Michael), does not quite succeed...

Chesterton and Shaw fought for 20 years. They debated on sex, socialism, Christianity, war, Ireland, Shakespeare, until they came to be stock figures in British intellectual life, being put upon lecture platforms especially to pummel each other "like two knockabout comedians." Their social relations were less permanent. When Maurice Baring gave a great birthday party (at which eggs were boiled...
