Miss Helen Hayes plays Madeline guest, the American actress who preserves her Hattie Carnegie clothes throughout the German occupation of France. An actress of great warmth and emotion, her Madeline Guest, however, tends to become a cross between John's Other Wife and Mary Marlin, the result, no doubt, of Miss Hayes' extensive radio appearances in recent years.

Since Henry Flagler pushed his bumpy railroad southward to Miami, and the tourists began to seek winter warmth, to millions in the U. S. Florida had become a place to rest, to play, to escape from the year-round realities at home. Up to this week, some 2,000,000 had spent $250,000,000 on that endeavor this season. If, when they headed home again, their winter...
