...Margaret Lindsay. All is a haze of moss, lichen, and the soft tints of old stone, with a plethora of brogue and much quasi-Irish sentiment, which is to say that "Paddy" is closely related to "Sweetheart Darlin'," and at a respectful distance from Synge and Lady Gregory. Warner Baxter is very rich, the Adairs are genteel but poor, and Mr. Walter Connolly is very poor.

Captured (Warner). Into a German prison camp come two British officers, Leslie Howard and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Between their captures, time enough has elapsed for Fairbanks to discover that he loves Howard's wife and that she loves him. This makes incarceration with Howard intolerable to Fairbanks and he impulsively escapes by cutting a few lines of barbed wire, running to a nearby German airdrome, hitting a mechanic on the chin and flying home. But even in War-time international law operates to extradite civilians and soldiers charged with rape and murder. On the night of Fairbanks' escape...
