Budge, the red-haired 20-year-old Californian whose game has been the sensation of the season, could of course be taken for granted.

As a cinema it enlists the aid of Sylvia Sidney and Herbert Marshall, whose air of romantic maturity is accentuated by powdered temples, spectacles, and a polite, nostalgic way of asking for a kiss. Miss Sidney first becomes his leading lady (he is a playwright ) when getting fired as his secretary prods her into a love avowal, and ends as his fiancee after an interlude with Philip Reed...
