...Year to Live. You can feel fairly certain after scrutinizing this title that, in the end, she finds that the "one year to live" decision is reversed to allow her marriage and the happy ever-afterward. Before this, she was a dancer's maid; supported her invalid sister, became a dancer; warded off seduction by the wicked theatre man. It is pretty bad, even as these things go, notwithstanding the presence of Dorothy Mackaill, Antonio Moreno, Rosemary Theby, Aileen Pringle and Joseph Kilgour...
...Morris Sampter of Manhattan was at sea. She wanted to talk to her sister, a Mrs. Emil Berolzheimer. Mrs. Berolzheimer was also at sea, 150 miles away, on another German liner. Nevertheless, Mrs. Sampter marched into a telephone booth aboard her ship, the North German Lloyd Columbus, and was soon gabbling with her sister, on the Hamburg-American Deutschland, about fashions, family matters and a political dinner Mrs. B.'s brother-in-law had lately attended.

With them, ''just like one family," live other refugees, a mother, sister and two daughters Vanderphant. Also Aunt Teresa's daughter, Sylvia Ninon Therese Anastathia -long legs, dark brown hair, hazel eyes, guileless, 16, attending convent. She reads "Questions and Answers" in the Daily Mail. Georges quotes her the poets, plays Tristan and Isolde on the piano. They kiss a little and call pet names...
...change her mind, thought U.S. golf enthusiasts who have long wanted to see her play. Besides, her stern decision makes no reference to informal matches. She might, hoped many, come over some day with her ex-Brritish Amateur Champion brother, Roger, and have a friendly world's brother-sister championship with the Chicago Cummingses, ex-National Champion Edith and ex-Intercollegiate Champion Dexter...
