...Critic Newman thinks differently, takes sides with Countess Marie d'Agoult who sacrificed a proud position, bore Liszt three children and saw him truly as a superficial showman so dependent on adulation that he could never adjust himself to solitude and concentrated work. Liszt kept his shallow ways even after he turned to the Church. He repented periodically but he reverted always to the spotlight, to flatterers who kissed his hand, cherished his cigar butts, begged for locks of his hair. Critic Newman does not deny that Liszt did much for struggling Rich ard Wagner. But he spoils...
...shallow pond stocked with three dozen large trout is the first big feature that greets the eye of the spectator. A charming debutante of the Boston variety vainly trying to manipulate a fly red is the next big feature.

Football supports college athletics, but a coach is a coach, a business advisor, is a business advisor, and for the mutual benefit of both there must be separation of powers...
...nothing of the sort at the conclusion of The Painted Veil, the picture, despite the fact that Censor Joseph Breen gave it Certificate of Approval No. 395, can be considered an advertisement for adultery as a matrimonial cureall. In this respect it follows Somerset Maugham's shallow novel, from which it was adapted. In other respects, except that it lacks the rapid-fire beginning in which the two lovers see the doorknob turn and wonder whether they have been discovered, The Painted Veil improves on its original...
