...TRENT INTERVENES - E. C. Bentley - Knopf ($2). Ingenious short stories, told in a charming, highly literate style, and featuring Philip Trent, who is something of a classic among English detectives...

John Trent, a self-assured young man of likely starring calibre, was until recently piloting a TWA transport. Ruth Coleman is an erstwhile commercial artist model. Helen Burgess is a Paramount stock player also new to the screen. Key situation of A Doctor's Diary is the villainy of Dr. Ludlow...
