...millionaire in disguise. But a millionaire can fall off a narrow steel beam as fast as the next man. The picture made its point. Richard Dix is acceptable as the young man. Frances Howard, who recently married Samuel Goldwyn amid excited publicity, seemed rather slight and spiritless. The Talker. This ponderous project indicates that, even if a woman must yearn for a career, she must not talk about it around the family fireside.

Brennan, who took Greene's place in the eighth innings, was ineffective, and showed poor judgment with men on bases in the ninth. The batting was encouraging, but the base-running showed little headwork. The fielding of the team, except in the ninth inning, was fast. The score was fairly close until the sixth inning when the Freshmen scored nine runs on four hits, three bases on balls, and two errors. In the ninth inning Brennan weakened, and St. Paul...
