Besides describing such elegant doings, Miss Chase brightens her Luncheons by interviewing a couple of guests of honor. She has gaily discussed man's reversion to the ape with Harvard's Earnest Albert Hooton, the worries & woes of picture-making with Walter Wanger, the business of editing fashion magazines with her mother, Mrs. Edna Woolman Chase, editor of Vogue. She is fond of titillating her listeners with attacks on too too noble women, descriptions of summer romances gone sour because "in the flush of the rush he may have neglected to tell you of his wife...
Foreign Correspondent (United Artists) will confuse cinemaddicts who may have heard that it began as a filming of Vincent Sheean's Personal History.

Spanish Frescoist Luis Quintanilla had concentrated on the women in the cast (Carmen Morales and Judith Linden), left the two-fisted action scenes for Thomas Benton, Raphael Soyer, Georges Schreiber and James Chapin...
Scheduled for a tour of U. S. museums, Producer Wanger's experiment in cultural publicity had by last week got so much attention for The Long Voyage Home that he counted his $50,000 well spent. Meanwhile another Hollywood studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, was nosing around picture galleries, wondering whether it shouldn't commission some paintings too. Said Producer Wanger, gravely posing for the press photographers: "It's all for the sake...
