Engaged by the U. S. Department of Justice to teach its G-Men jujitsu was Philadelphia's Socialite Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle Sr., 61, father of the U. S. Minister to Norway, oldtime amateur boxer ("Tim O'Biddle...
Scrooge is a British version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, released for the U. S. Christmas trade by Paramount. A properly mean, frowzy, waspish Scrooge (Sir Seymour Hicks), a fine, spindly-legged Bob Cratchit (Donald Calthrop), a frail, treble-voiced Tiny Tim, and a number of thoroughly capable minor actors move through snowy London streets and warm Early Victorian interiors.

...than any other North American statesman, Canadian voters know that the Comintern of Moscow is not that funny kind of Russian cabbage soup with sour cream in it.

Unfortunately, Authors Tim Whelan (who also directed the film) and Guy Bolton built up to it poorly through the earlier portions of the picture, which develop Grey's romance with the director of the Star's "Lovelorn Column" (Virginia Bruce). The Murder Man is consequently only a little better than...
